Kimberly Ridley

I’m a science writer, essayist, editor, and children’s book author who has been writing about nature, the environment, and health for more than 20 years. My latest passion is writing children’s books, beginning with The Secret Pool (Tilbury House, 2013), a picture book about vernal pools, which has won awards including The John Burroughs Association Riverby Award for “excellent natural history books for young readers.” My new book The Secret Bay, which is about estuaries, will be published by Tilbury House on October 1, 2015

My joy is sharing my love of nature and writing with school children! I’m having a blast collaborating with illustrator Rebekah Raye leading workshops that combine science, writing and art for elementary school students. Contact me to set up a school visit!
