Kitty Black

Kitty Black won her first/only writing award for The Big Fish, heroically competing against 20 other six-year-olds. Her background in psychology and research is ironically irrelevant to parenting, as her children wander away when she asks them why they tipped jelly into the plant. Kitty can be found wondering what's going on at her blog Playing with Fireworks.
