About the Author

Fran Manushkin

I've been writing children's books since forever! (Actually, 1972.) I love my work, and I'm particularly proud of my 40-book Katie Woo series: the first easy to read chapter books that star an Asian child.
Now Katie's friend Pedro has his own 4-book series: Pedro For President, Pedro Goes Buggy, Pedro's Mystery Club, and Pedro's Big Goal. All four of these stories can also be read in one big volume, Pedro: First Grade Hero. Two additional Pedro books are coming in January: Pedro and the Shark and Pirate Pedro.

I'm also the author of "Happy In Our Skin," a bouncy, rhyming tribute to skin and to diverse families. School Library Journal calls it "a delightful feel-good story." It came out a year ago and is in its third printing: thrilling!

My other books include the toilet training board books, Big Girl Panties and Big Boy Underpants. They really work! Big Girl Panties has over 500 enthusiastic reader reviews! Big Boy Underpants just came out and has already been reprinted.

My other books include the popular Big Sisters are the Best and Big Brothers are the Best.

I love to do school or Skype visits and can be contacted through my Website:www.franmanushkin.com. I'm also on Facebook and Twitter.
