NHBF Author: Vivian Kirkfield

Writer for children—reader forever…that’s Vivian Kirkfield in five words. Her bucket list contains many more words – but she’s checked off skydiving, walking under the ocean, and going around the world in less than 80 days. When she isn't looking for ways to fall out of the sky or sink under the water, this former New York City educator inspires budding writers during classroom visits and shares insights with aspiring authors at conferences and on her blog where
she hosts #50PreciousWords and #50PreciousWordsforKids. Her nonfiction narratives bring history alive for young readers and have received the Silver Eureka, Social Studies Notable Trade Book, Best STEM Book K-12, Bank Street College of Education Best Book, and Junior Library Guild Selection. 

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.
