This Indiana-born writer wrote non-fiction for children, often illustrated with her husband's photographs. She wrote The Weaver's Gift about how wool becomes a child's blanket, and The Puppeteer which explored the crafters' artistic concerns. For her 1990 book Dinosaur Dig she and her husband packed up the kids and moved from Cambridge, MA to the Badlands of Montana. She was greatly interested in history, and her book The Night Journey tells of a Jewish girl and her family's dangerous flight from Czarist Russia. She once said that she didn't care if her readers didn't remember a single fact, as long as they came away with a sense of joy. Her name is Kathryn Lasky, and her husband is Christopher Knight.
