Meet Kit: An American Girl 1934 (The American Girls Collection, Book 1)

Valerie Tripp says that she became a writer because of the kind of person she is. She says she's curious, and writing requires you to be interested in everything. Talking is her favorite sport, and writing is a way of talking on paper. She's a daydreamer, which helps her come up with her ideas. And she loves words. She even loves the struggle to come up with just the right words as she writes and rewrites. Ms. Tripp lives in Maryland with her husband and daughter. Walter Rane wanted to be an artist ever since he was in kindergarten. At age ten he painted his first oil paintings, using the paints from a paint-by-number kit but ignoring the numbers and lines. Mr. Rane lives in Oregon with his wife, four sons, one dog, two cats, and eight chickens.Valerie Tripp is the author of 'Meet Kit: An American Girl 1934 (The American Girls Collection, Book 1)', published 2000 under ISBN 9781584850168 and ISBN 1584850167.
