Kari-Lynn
Winters is a picture book author, educator, and
performer. She enjoys being in the classroom in any
capacity, as a presenter, a teacher, or as a student.
She recently accepted a tenure-track position in the
Faculty of Education at Brock University.
Kari-Lynn's first picture book, Jeffrey
and Sloth (Orca Book Publishers, 2007) was a 2008
Blue Spruce award nominee and a 2008 BC Book Prize finalist.
It won the 2009 Chocolate Lily Reader’s Choice
Award and was named a 2006/2007 ABC’s of Education
Best Book. Eleven of Kari-Lynn’s other picture
books have been accepted for publication with such publishers
as Gumboot Books, Tradewind Books, and Simply Read Books.
Kari-Lynn loves to be invited to make
author visits and give keynote addresses. Her interactive
sessions suggest practical ways that educators can use
embodied, visual, musical, and imaginative forms of
learning as ways to reconnect today’s youth with
books, to bridge the gap between words and other modalities,
and to inspire lifelong readers and writers.
