The world lost one of the brightest lights in the kidlit sky last week with the passing of author Katey Howes. 

Today we're remembering Katey and honoring her memory with a reshare of a conversation Josh first had with her in July 2021. 

If you have a memory of Katey you'd like to share, please consider doing so via this Google Form. A memory book will be created and gifted to each of her three children, containing photos and remembrances from those of us in the kidlit community who were fortunate enough to know her.

Katey's work is beautiful, sincere, encouraging, and timeless. To further support her family, if you're able, order one of her books or request them from your local library. Katey's published work can be found on her website.

Katey's latest book, Reindeer Remainders, is just a few weeks away from release. Please also consider ordering it from Amazon or your local bookseller.
