From her early days in the classroom, award-winning and best-selling children's book author L.T. Caton knew she was destined for a path beyond teaching; she was meant to be a writer. As a student, she often found herself disengaged with history, viewing it as a monotonous subject that seemed to offer only a singular perspective. With a passion for shedding light on the lesser-known figures and narratives of history, L.T. embarked on a mission to make learning both enjoyable and enlightening. Through her acclaimed book series, Find Me in Time, she introduces young readers to pivotal historical moments and figures often overlooked in conventional textbooks. Each chapter book in the series delves into significant historical events or eras, offering a fresh and inclusive perspective. For L.T., a truly impactful book is one that resonates with its readers on multiple levels. It should have characters that readers can see themselves in, a compelling storyline, and impart lessons that remain with the reader long after the final page is turned. Through her writings, she aspires to ignite a passion for reading, especially among children of color and young girls. She wants them to discover historical figures who mirror their own identities and experiences. A native of New York, L.T. finds solace and inspiration by the ocean. Whether it's fishing, beach strolls, sailing, or cycling, the sea's vastness and serenity provide her with a creative sanctuary. Beyond her literary pursuits, she is an avid cook and baker, a traveler with a keen sense of adventure, and a dedicated community servant. Her close-knit family, including her parents, sister, and the cherished memories of her late maternal grandmother, have been her pillars of strength and support throughout her illustrious journey.
