Thank you so much to everyone who joined me on tour for Wombat Waiting, and to every event organizer, educator, bookseller, parent, and volunteer who made it possible. I absolutely loved meeting you all. Happy reading; I hope you enjoy Wombat’s story.
School Visits and Events
Katherine loves meeting readers through school and virtual visits. She also loves to write. Unfortunately, she’s been doing so much of the former that she’s fallen behind on the latter.
So that she can catch up on work, she is not currently booking new events (including for the 2026-2027 school year).
Sometimes, her publishers organize speaking engagements. Follow Katherine on social media to learn about upcoming opportunities to hear from her.
