Carolyn Crimi

Carolyn Crimi (born 1959) is an American author of children's picture books.

Biography

Crimi was born in 1959, in Long Island, New York. After graduating from the Berkshire School, she attended Lake Forest College, where she earned a bachelor of arts in art history in 1982. She then attended Vermont College, where she earned a master of fine arts in writing for children in 2000. She lives in Evanston, Illinois. In addition to her writing career, she also teaches courses on writing for children. She is a member of the Illinois chapter of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.[1]

Her book Don't Need Friends (Doubleday, 1999) received a starred review from Publishers Weekly that said, "Crimi's tight, deft prose mines Dog and Rat's petulance for all its comedy and poignancy".[2]

In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews called There Might Be Lobsters (Candlewick, 2017) "just beachy," saying, "Sly inclusions of lobsters in the details, in particular, will provoke readers’ laughter as they cheer on Sukie and applaud Eleanor's pluck and patience".[3]
