She is also the author of the acclaimed adult memoir, HIT BY A FARM: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BARN. Since then, the author has written six children's books, including THE PERFECT NEST, a hilarious read-aloud illustrated by John Manders and two books in Candlewickâs Brand New Readers series. She studied Economics, but because of her love for books and stories, she eventually found herself drawn to writing. She was slightly shy as a child, but enjoyed playing Beauty Parlor with her sister, taking family trips, and watching STAR TREK and TIME TUNNEL. She read so much her parents had to set a "no-reading-at-the dinner-table" rule. Catherine Friend had what she calls a "boring" childhood, but she says that boring was just fine - because it gave her more time to read.
