Joyce Uglow

Joyce P. Uglow has been asking questions and collecting words since an early age. Retired, she now writes picture books and poetry for children who are also intrigued by words and our wondrous world, books that educators, librarians, and kids tell each other about. She currently serves as SCBWI Wisconsin’s Assistant Regional Advisor and is on the Board of the Wisconsin Center for the Book. She digs in on topics from whales, rocks, bees, trees, and families to ancient cave art and fossils trapped in asphalt seeps and everything in between. She is unwaveringly committed to sparking kids’ interests. Preorder Joyce’s lyrical nonfiction picture book, STUCK! The Story of the La Brea Tar Pits today.
