Kathryn Lasky

Kathryn Lasky ist eine renommierte amerikanische Autorin, die vor allem für ihre Beiträge zur Kinderliteratur und -sachbüchern bekannt ist. Sie hat zahlreiche Buchseries verfasst, darunter "Guardians of Ga'Hoole", "Wolves of the Beyond" und "Daughters of the Sea", sowie Beiträge zu Reihen wie "Dear America" und "The Royal Diaries". Für ihr erwachsenes Publikum veröffentlicht sie unter ihrem Ehenamen, Kathryn Lasky Knight, oder dem Pseudonym E.L. Swann.

Lasky wurde in Indianapolis, Indiana, aufgezogen und erwarb einen Bachelor-Abschluss in Englisch an der University of Michigan sowie einen Master-Abschluss in Early Childhood Education am Wheelock College. Sie lebt derzeit in Massachusetts mit ihrem Ehemann und häufigen Mitwirkenden, dem Fotografen Christopher Knight. Laskys Kindheit verbrachte sie in einem großen Haus mit Garage und Teich unten, wo sie im Winter gerne Schlittschuh lief. Ihre Mutter, bekannt für ihre Intelligenz und Ehrlichkeit, ermutigte Lasky früh dazu, Schriftstellerin zu werden und erkannte ihr Potenzial frühzeitig.

Laskys Vater, ein selbstgemachter Geschäftsmann und erfolgreicher Athlet, hatte ebenfalls einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf ihr Leben. Er war das erste jüdische Baby, das in Minnesota geboren wurde, und seine Geburt zog viel Aufmerksamkeit von der lokalen Gemeinde auf sich. Als Kind hatte Lasky graue Haare, Falten und einen großartigen Sinn für Humor. Sie verbrachte viel Zeit mit ihrem Hund, Suzy, und unterrichtete sie in Zirkustricks und zog sie mit Röcken und Hüten an. Laskys Kindheitserfahrungen und der Einfluss ihrer Eltern haben zweifellos ihre Schriftstellerkarriere geprägt und zu ihrem Erfolg als beliebte Kinderbuchautorin beigetragen.
