Visit Porter Square Books to welcome Kate Fussner, author of The Song of Us for the latest installment of the Grubbie Debut event series. Rajani LaRocca will be joining the author in conversation.

Kate Fussner (she/her) is a novelist, teacher, and accidental poet living in Massachusetts with her wife and dog. When not reading or writing, Kate can be found spending time with her family, baking, or singing her favorite musicals. Kate believes in the power of a good laugh and a good cry, and hopes her stories will provide readers with both.

Rajani LaRocca was born in India, raised in Kentucky, and now lives in the Boston area, where she practices medicine and writes award-winning books for young readers, including the Newbery Honor winning middle grade novel in verse, Red, White, and Whole. She’s always been an omnivorous reader, and now she is an omnivorous writer of fiction and nonfiction, novels and picture books, prose and poetry. She finds inspiration in her family, her childhood, the natural world, math, science, and just about everywhere she looks. She also co-hosts the STEM Women in KidLit Podcast.
