Kim Griswell was a book lover from
an early age, just like Rufus. Day after day,
Kim watched her big sister grab her lunchbox,
books, and pencil box, and head off to school.
Kim wished with all her heart that she could
go, too. That longing was the inspiration for
Rufus Goes to School, Kim’s first picture book.
Kim has been a burger flipper, a waitress,
a five-and-dime clerk, a college secretary, a
university lecturer, a book editor, and, most of
all, the mother of five children. She has taught
writing workshops all over the country, and
has written about everything from flesh-eating
plants to exploding toilets. She now spends
her days writing and editing children’s books
in a little red house in Ashland, Oregon.
