Welcome!
My name is Susan Pearson, and I am the author of more than thirty books for children, including picture books, chapter books, and collections of verse. I’m also a children’s book editor.
I’ve always felt incredibly lucky: I get to spend my days doing what I love to do—writing and editing books for kids. It can be hard work. Sometimes I’m stumped for the right word or phrase. Sometimes I’m getting tangled in a plot. But even at those times, I love my job.
Often I feel like a detective—hunting for just the right word to use in a poem, finding the clues to solve a mystery, figuring out what’s going to happen next in a story.
Other times I’m like a gardener—planting the seed of a story and watching it grow. Sometimes it grows in the wrong direction or way too looooooong and I have to prune it back, but it’s a wonderful feeling when I’ve finally got it growing straight and it blooms!
So welcome to my web site! I hope you’ll like my books as much as I’ve liked making them.
