Welcome to the website for Kathleen Krull and her books for young readers. At the heart of this site is the award-winning “Lives of” series—Musicians, Writers, Artists, Athletes, Presidents, and—most recent—Extraordinary Women. Exquisite paintings by Kathryn Hewitt bring these famous figures to life.  Each book explores 20 famous people…and what their neighbors thought of them. 
     You can also read about what the neighbors think of Kathleen Krull, find out about Wilma Unlimited and her other books.  Comments, more ideas for using biographies in the classroom, and invitations to parties are welcome.
     The juicy parts of this site are not for teachers only. Look for extensive links to on-line resources about each famous person, trivia games to play, and a comprehensive list of ideas (approximately 38!) on using biographies in the classroom.
