Kelly Crull

Kelly Crull is the author of a short stack of children's books including most recently Washed Ashore: Making Art from Ocean Plastic. His writing career began in the second grade when his teacher gave him a blank picture book and told him to tell a story. He filled an entire bookshelf at the library at his school in Iowa. His joke book even had a waitlist!

Kelly's lively school visits have been known to include reenactments of the Running of the Bulls and La Tomatina, the world's largest food fight. Crazy fiestas like these happen every day in Spain where he lives with his wife and three children in an old stone house between a castle and a palace.
