Gabrielle Balkan
Gabrielle Balkan is best known for non-fiction books that delight readers ages 5-12 with curious and essential facts about the United States, animal record-breakers, and ground-breaking artists. Reviewers have called her books “playful”, “thought-provoking”, “rib-tickling”, “engaging”, and “splendid.” Recommended by the National Council for the Social Studies-Children’s Book Council and International Literacy Association, Gabrielle’s books include The 50 States, Book of Bones, Book of Flight, and Georgia O’Keeffe: She Saw the World in a Flower.
