Kelly Bennett
I write books for children—mostly picture books celebrating imagination, families, friends, pets…all that goes into being a kid! What books? NORMAN ONE AMAZING GOLDFISH & NOT NORMAN, featuring our finny fish friend, Norman T Goldfish, illustrated by Noah Z Jones (Candlewick Press); VAMPIRE BABY about a biting baby sister/vampire; DAD AND POP: Ode to Fathers & Stepfathers, illustrated by Paul Meisel; ONE DAY I WENT RAMBLING & DANCE, Y’ALL, DANCE illustrated by Terri Murphy; YOUR DADDY WAS JUST LIKE YOU & YOUR MOMMY WAS JUST LIKE YOU illustrated by David Walker; and POETRY LAB, 7-Minute Poetry Prompts you can find—and try!—on my blog, Kelly’s Fishbowl: https://www.kellybennett.com/fishbowl....
What’s more: I’m a graduate of VCFA’s Writing for Children and Young Adults program, and long-standing member of SCBWI (former ARA for SCBWI-Houston) & The Author’s Guild. I live, garden, bike, cook, create from my base in Westhampton Beach, NY & Mimiville (which is anywhere my grandboys may be).

In case you're wondering, I use the 'It's the City' Book Review "Rating System" here's the link: http://citybookreview.com/our-rating-...
1 Star – Probably only going to be read and enjoyed by the author’s mother.
2 Stars – This book was a waste of time for the general reader
3 Stars – While not a bad book, probably wouldn’t read it again/recommend it to a friend.
4 Stars – Enjoyed it, will recommend it to friends.
5 Stars – An excellent example of the genre. Will be giving it out as gifts.
...Bottom line: A three isn’t a recommendation. It’s a “You’ll like this sort of thing if you like this sort of thing” kind of review.
