About Caroline
Hello! I'm Caroline Starr Rose, an avid reader and kidlit author excited to talk with young readers. As a former teacher, school visits are my joy. Kids are far more open-minded and curious than most adults and honestly a lot more fun! It is my privilege to write for and talk with kids about all things books and reading.
