Kate Hoefler was born and still lives and writes in the rolling hills of Ohio’s Appalachia. She is the author of numerous picture books and loves the book-love her work has received at Ohioana: two of her books, RABBIT AND THE MOTORBIKE and COURAGE HATS, were both Ohioana Book Award finalists and Floyd’s Pick Honor books. Another kids’ book career highlight was when Henry Winkler read RABBIT AND THE MOTORBIKE for Jennifer Garner’s #savewithstories (although only Rabbit was wearing a leather jacket for it). Her newest book is IN THE DARK, and she hopes you’ll find the lightest of lights in it. She loves pottery, being an introvert, and cheese. Follow her on instagram: (@katehoefler).
