Bolling, Valerie

Valerie Bolling

Valerie Bolling is an award-winning author/educator who is passionate about creating stories for children in which they can feel seen, heard, valued, and validated. She’s the author of 12 books, including SCBWI Crystal Kite Award winner, LET’S DANCE!; Kirkus Prize Finalist, TOGETHER WE SWIM; Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection, I SEE COLOR; Scholastic Acorn early reader series, RAINBOW DAYS; and a book for teachers, GOAL SETTING IN THE WRITING CLASSROOM: BUILDING STUDENT AGENCY, INDEPENDENCE AND SUCCESS. Sharing her books with young readers and their families – and inspiring both children and adults to write their own stories – brings Valerie immense joy! Valerie lives in Connecticut with her husband where they enjoy traveling, hiking, reading, going to the theater, and dancing.
