Gloria Koster

In addition to being an author, Gloria Koster (she/her) (gloriakoster.com) is a longtime children’s librarian. She says “so many of my story ideas come from my years spent listening to kids’ voices and concerns.” Gloria’s most recent title is the hilarious Overdue: The Misadventure of Bob the Book (Capstone). Earlier published books include The Peanut-Free Café (Albert Whitman), Mitzi’s Mitzvah (Kar-Ben), Little Red Ruthie: A Hanukkah Tale (Albert Whitman), Dance the Hora, Isadora! (Apples & Honey), and The King with a Horse’s Ears (Capstone). She is over-the-top excited to announce her newest project— a picture book biography of Leonard Bernstein to be published by Calkins Creek/Astra. Gloria is also the author of many early nonfiction books written for the educational market. At home in both Williamstown, Massachusetts and New York City, Gloria and her husband are the parents of three adult children and four energetic grand kids.
