Thank you so much to everyone who joined Gennifer Choldenko and me to celebrate the third book in the Dogtown series, I Am a Good Dog! We absolutely loved meeting you, and we’re incredibly grateful to every fabulous bookstore and school who hosted us.
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 in-person or virtual events or classroom visits (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.
