About Linda Kranz, author and illustrator

Born in Savannah, Georgia, I’m the oldest of five siblings. Our dad was in the Air Force when we were growing up and because of that we moved around a lot. We lived in Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Germany, and Arizona.

We have two terrific grown children and a wonderful daughter-in-law.
