Galbraith, Kathryn O.: - Kathryn O. Galbraith is an award-winning author of 22 children's books. She loves working in many different genres with many different characters, but this is her first book about a Worry Monster! Kathryn began writing in the second grade and never stopped. She grew up in Plymouth, Michigan, with four brothers, two birds, one dog, and lots and lots of books. Kathryn always felt - and still feels - lucky to have so many brothers. She felt sorry for girls who only had one or two. When she writes about boy characters, they all seem to have a little bit of Chuck, Tom, Ed, or Jim in them. Today Kathryn lives in the green, rainy, watery, beautiful state of Washington with her husband Steve, their naughty puppy, Duffy, and lots and lots of books.
