Melanie Chrismer

Author, Melanie Chrismer writes for children. Whether it's fiction or nonfiction, Chrismer writes to entertain, inform, and encourage more reading.

Since she was a poor reader in school, this author is determined to make reading fun. In so doing she travels to schools, all over the country, wearing a 7-gallon hat, roping with a lasso, bringing a tumbleweed, showing photos of herself floating in mid air on NASA's Vomit Comet, stringing together a crazy sock numberline, or making wild birdcalls. "If it causes a child to take a second look at a book or try harder to read...isn't it worth being a little silly?"

Melanie Chrismer lives in Texas.
