Kate Giles

A writing teacher, a published poet, and a lover of children’s literature, Kate Giles always planned to write children’s picture books someday. That day arrived when she and her husband began rescuing cats and observing their entertaining antics as well as discovering parallels to human behavior. In creating the comical cat world of her book Camp Cattitude, Kate strives to write in a way that brings joy as well as learning. She herself still has dog-eared copies of her favorite childhood picture books, and she hopes Camp Cattitude will become a well-worn book on some future shelves.

Kate loves hearing from folks who have enjoyed her book—including kiddos who have read the book to their cat. :) She can be contacted through her website, CampCattitude.com, where she also shares cat facts and care tips for living happily with a cattitudinous feline. Kate looks forward to releasing another picture book in the coming year.
