Author: Stacy McAnulty

Stacy McAnulty is a children’s book author, who used to be a mechanical engineer, who’s also qualified to be a paleontologist (NOT REALLY), a correspondent for The Daily Show (why not), and a Green Bay Packer coach (totally!). She is the 2017 Ezra Jack Keats Book New Writer Honor Recipient for "Excellent Ed", illustrated by Julia Sarcone-Roach. Her other picture books include "Earth! My First 4.54 Billion Years", illustrated by David Litchfield; "Brave" and "Beautiful", both illustrated by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff; "Mr. Fuzzbuster Knows He’s the Favorite", illustrated by Edward Hemingway; and "101 Reasons Why I’m Not Taking a Bath", illustrated by Joy Ang. She’s also authored the chapter book series "Goldie Blox", based on the award-winning toys, and "The Dino Files". Her debut middle grade novel, "The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl", will publish in 2018. When not writing, Stacy likes to listen to NPR, bake triple-chocolate cupcakes, and eat triple-chocolate cupcakes. Originally from upstate NY, she now lives in Kernersville, NC with her 3 kids, 2.5 dogs, and 1 husband.
