Brenda Z Guiberson

Cactus Hotel, Spoonbill Swamp, Moon Bear, and Disasters are just a few of Brenda Z.Guiberson's children's books. Brenda had no desire to be a writer as a child; her fantasies were more akin to that of a jungle adventurer. She earned degrees in English and Fine Art from the University of Washington. As her son started elementary school, she became interested in writing for children in volunteered in his class and the school library. She intended to write field trip books for kids after going on interesting outings that included a fifty-foot cactus, hungry alligators, and sunset-colored spoonbills.

Brenda sees her study as an adventure that allows her to be a jungle explorer at long last, and her novels are packed of well-researched detail. She is a resident of Seattle, Washington.
