Carol Joy Munro began thinking about writing when she was about seven years old, trying desperately to figure out how to describe things. Anything. Everything! The color yellow, a dog running across its yard, the way the world looked outside her window. She started writing stories and poems then, and eventually worked as a copywriter in advertising, then as a freelance marketing and editorial writer. When she gave up her business, she focused on writing for kids. She’s active in two online communities for writers, leads a critique group, has volunteered for the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, participated as a poetry judge in the We Need Diverse Books/Penguin Random House Creative Writing Awards, and twice judged the Fiction Picture Book category for Cybils. SPRINGTIME STORKS is her debut picture book. She lives in western Mass with her husband.
