 Gail Langer Karwoski
An award-winning children’s author, Gail Langer Karwoski has written Julie the Rockhound, Water Beds: Sleeping in the Ocean (winner of the 2005 Mom’s Choice Award for Best Children’s Picture Book and Learning Magazine’s 2007 Teachers’ Choice Award for Children’s Books) and River Beds: Sleeping in the World’s Rivers (2008) for Sylvan Dell Publishing. In addition to those picture books, Gail has written six other books for young readers, including Tsunami: The True Story of an April Fool’s Day Disaster and Quake! Disaster in San Francisco, 1906. Married to a “rockhound,” Gail enjoys “treasure hunting” for geodes, fossils, and crystals. Before becoming a full-time author, Gail taught in Georgia public schools, and her classroom was famous because of “rock box.” She wrote Julie the Rockhound to share her delight in our earth’s treasures with children and their parents. Gail and her husband live near the University of Georgia (in Watkinsville) and have two bossy cats and two grown daughters.
