Karen Henry Clark decided to become an author when she was four years old, quickly discovering the living room wall was not the best place for publishing. She worked as a clerk, teacher, college administrator, and copywriter but never forgot her childhood ambition. Her first picture book, SWEET MOON BABY, addressed adopting her daughter from China. Next, LIBRARY GIRL, told the story of Nancy Pearl, her co-worker in a Tulsa bookstore. On her website under "Margin Notes," Karen, who lives in Milan, OH, blogs about the magic in life's seemingly ordinary moments.

Interest in Participating in Panels or Story Time
I have a smart board (if you have one) version of LIBRARY GIRL without text so children can study the illustrations while I read, in order to learn how words and art cooperate to reveal a story.
If you organize a panel of authors who tell how persistence finally led to success, I can be involved in that conversation.
