Kristin Kelly

Kristin Kelly’s career is a patchwork of care and compassion. She first worked as a nurse in a bustling city hospital, retraining as a teacher when she had children. Education has brought her enormous joy and encouraged a philosophy of lifelong learning and creativity. Her professional journey took a poignant turn when she also became an end-of-life biographer. This role deepened her understanding of the human spirit and the power of storytelling. Through her diverse roles with the sick, the young, and those at the end of life, Kristin has learned that showing kindness to others whenever we can is the most important gift we have to share.

Mitchell Itches reflects Kristin’s deep empathy for those struggling with eczema and her desire to bring comfort and understanding to young readers and their families. This book is dedicated to itchy kids everywhere, with love.
