NHBF Author: Karen Krossing

Karen Krossing is an author of settler heritage who has written many books for kids and teens, including the picture books My Street Remembers, One Tiny Bubble and Sour Cakes, and the novels Monster vs. Boy and Punch Like a Girl. She has twice won the SCBWI Crystal Kite Award and has been a finalist for the Ontario Library Association White Pine Award, among other honors. She holds an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts, and she’s on faculty at Whale Rock Literary Workshops. Karen lives on the land now known as Toronto, Canada.

How many footsteps have walked your street? My Street Remembers peels back the history of one city street in North America to reveal the greater story of the land on which we live. This rich collaboration between author Karen Krossing, of White settler descent, and Anishinaabe artist Cathie Jamieson ends with a question that readers anywhere can ask—what does your street remember?

This author is scheduled to appear at the NH Book Festival which will be held at the Capitol Center for the Arts & NHBF Festival Village on South Main Street in Concord, NH on October 3-4, 2025.
