Kathryn Lasky
Kathryn Lasky and Christopher G. Knight have created many books for children, including The Most Beautiful Roof in the World, Monarchs, and Sugaring Time, a Newbery Honor Book.
About working on Interrupted Journey, they say, “It was a real eye opener for us to see how many people care about sea turtles and how an international rescue effort has evolved. It is so heartening to see people of all ages come together in this way.”
