Welcome to my world and

the wonders of weird!

Kelly Milner Halls

I am a children’s writer, specializing in nonfiction for young readers. I search for topics some people consider a little strange. Why? Because those topics fascinate me, and because I believe through careful research and energetic writing we can draw even reluctant readers into the world of good books, via quirky subjects.

Be sure to check out all my bizarre books by clicking on the “Kelly’s Books” tab on the left.

Thanks for stopping by. If you want to get to know me and my work better, stick around for a while–click around for a while. And drop me a note if you have something you’d like to share. I’m always listening. Hearing from you always gives me a smile!
