focused on history, science, and animal facts.

(nominated for 14 state awards), as well as the National Book Award Longlisted Kiss Number 8, a graphic novel co-
created with Ellen T. Crenshaw. Her other books include The Oboe Goes Boom Boom Boom with Lian Cho, The Swayze
Year with Meghan Daly, Kitten Ninja with Marcie Colleen, Time Buddies with Matthew Cody, Mervin the Sloth is About
to Do the Best Thing in The World with Ruth Chan, and the Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye series, also with
Stephanie Yue. Colleen splits her me between Brooklyn, New York, and an old house in North Adams, Massachusetts
that she’s rebuilding with friends. When she’s not writing books, she can be found working at animal rescues,
rollerskating, building things, and getting very excited when she spots a frog.
