About

I’ve written fifteen titles–fiction, nonfiction, and picture books–and many have won awards. I’ve told the stories of Owney who was a real dog that rode trains; Frederick Douglass, a famous African American; Amelia Earhart, a famous woman pilot; and I’ve even written about insects.

Mona Kerby Biography

I’m a professor at McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland where I teach–mostly teachers–how to become school librarians, technology specialists, and writers for children and teens. I’ve been a kindergarten teacher and an elementary librarian in Arlington, Texas.

I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas but now my husband and I live in rural Maryland. We love dogs. Here is a photo of one of our dogs who used to love stealing the trash.

The other photo was taken  on a school trip to Zimbabwe.

My hobbies are reading, learning, teaching, knitting, and making people laugh.

A few of my favorite things are dogs, the colors red and black, elephants, and eating ice cream.
