Kimberly Waters calls the White Mountains of Arizona home.   She began writing poetry as a teenager and then turned to children's books when she retired from teaching school in 2019.  Through all her years of teaching, Kim gained insight into kids’ thinking, helping her choose the best topics for the 17 books she has published.  She’s always had a knack for rhyming so you will see a lot of her poetry in her books.  

When she’s not writing, she loves spending time with family, going for walks in the park, singing, and playing the piano and organ. 

So where does writing and being an author of children’s books fit in? In her spare time, of course. (Whatever that means!) Teaching all those years gave Kim quite a bit of insight into kids’ thinking. Her favorite subject in school was always English - so why not put them together and write children’s books!
