SK Wenger

With Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees in environmental and wildlife ecology, I am drawn toward exploring human interactions with each other and the natural world, and sometimes through a humorous lens. I’m the author of Chicken Frank, Dinosaur! (2021 Albert Whitman), two pb titles not yet announced from Candlewick/MIT Kids Press (2027, 2028), books for the educational market (Caterpillar Can’t Wait, Farm Stand Mystery, Into Black Bear Country, etc.), poems in Ladybug and Cricket, and essays that have been broadcast on Utah public radio. My work has been honored with a WIFYR Fellowship and recognized in various contests such as those hosted by WritingBattle.com, Vivian Kirkfield, and PB Party. I enjoy bringing an interactive program called DINO-MANIA to libraries with Utah authors Julia Lyon, Amy Newbold, and illustrator Greg Newbold.
