About the Author

Why Read with Kathleen Rae Allison?

Books that are age-appropriate and promote healthy development.
Stories that encourage creativity, language skills, and a lifelong love of learning.
Titles that are truly loved by children (and tolerated—even enjoyed!—by parents).

Kathleen Rae Allison began her journey in upstate New York, where her passion for nurturing and supporting children first took root. For the past 30 years, she has called Johns Island, located off the picturesque coast of Charleston, South Carolina, her home. Living on a small family farm, Kathleen has built a life deeply connected to the community and the natural world—a setting that has inspired much of her work and dedication.
