I’m Andrea Curtis, a writer in Toronto, Canada. I write books for kids, young adults and grownups, too. My work has been published all over the world. My new middle grade book, illustrated by Ana Suárez, is The Story and Science of Hope (Groundwood Books). Last year, I published Loop de Loop: Circular Solutions for a Waste-Free World (Groundwood), which was honoured with the Blueberry Changemaker Award and a Stepping Stones Honor Award. I’ve had four other books for young readers come out in the last couple of years: City of Neighbors, City Streets are for People and City of Water from Groundwood, and Barnaby from Owlkids. I am also the author of the young adult novel Big Water based on the true story of a pair of teenage shipwreck survivors. I live in Toronto with my family.
