Hey, thanks for stopping by!
If you love picture books, you've come to the right place! I'm Susan K. Holt, and I write stories that celebrate curiosity, imagination, and heart. (Books previously published under Susan K Kralovansky are still my work - you may see both names connected during this transition.) If you're a teacher or librarian, you'll find activity guides and classroom resources on my Books page. And, if you'd like to learn more about me, please click here. If you're a writer, I'd love to encourage you on your creative journey. As the author of twenty picture books, I'm happy to share what I've learned on my road to publication. I offer Critiques through Yellow Bird Editors and Writing Coaches. I love presenting at elementary schools, public libraries, reading and writing conferences, and book festivals. Please contact me for more information about visits, events, and writing. Happy reading! Susan K. Holt |

There Once Was a Cowgirl is a deliciously fun twist on the classic “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly”—this time with a Texas-sized appetite and a cowgirl who just can’t resist fair food! It all begins with some cake, but soon she’s gobbling up corndogs, chili chips, cider, and more in a wild, laugh-out-loud chain reaction. Set against the backdrop of the iconic Texas State Fair—famous for its food and festivities—this playful picture book bursts with rhythm, rhyme, and rodeo flair. - available now from TCU Press! Jake and his library book are in a sticky situation in this cumulative tale, an original adaptation of the classic The House That Jack Built. There's the jelly mishap that leads to the hungry rat, whose luck runs out when he's chased by the cat, all before a dog shows up and, well, that's that for the book that Jake borrowed! Will the librarian Jake adores let him have another book? Read more here... |
