A teacher who loves to write, Penelope Kaye has taught in a variety of venues over the years. Her writing includes poems, newspaper columns, and children's church curriculum, as well as writing and choreographing several children's holiday programs. Author of the award winning book Making Crooked Places Straight and a writer's how-to book called Land Media Interviews Without a Publicist, she annually reviews children's picture books for the highly respected High Plains BookFest.

With more than thirty visits to Yellowstone National Park, she is thrilled that the setting of her first picture book encapsulates her vivid memories of majestic landscapes, unpredictable buffalo, Old Faithful eruptions, and, of course, the rotten egg scent.

Penelope lives in the Mountain West and enjoys walking, completing word puzzles, and eating blueberries anytime of the day. You can find out more about her at her website PS2710.com.
