Books

Kathy Urban writes picture books that invite young readers to slow down, notice the world around them, and feel that their small actions matter. Her stories move between the tender and the joyful — from a boy who rescues an exhausted bee in Kind Little Hands, to the quiet wonder of community and nature in A Tree for Everyone, to the irrepressible energy of Hop Lola Hop and its two companions.

Published by Little Steps Publishing, Kathy's books have found readers across the globe. Hop Lola Hop is now available in Arabic, with German translations of her full catalogue currently underway.
