Clever Hans is a horse who can do math problems, tell time, read, spell, and more . . . or can he?

Even after seeing Hans answer questions correctly, some people think it must be a hoax. Scientists are investigating. Eventually, one scientist has a groundbreaking “aha!” moment! Hans is clever in a way that no-one realizes!

Turns out Hans was so smart, he changed science!

Kerri’s writing features unique structures, playful language, humor, tension, tenderness, simple text, and complicated characters. She has a good vision for how text and art can work together to tell a complete story. Kerri credits most of her story ideas to her “fly on the wall” personality. This means she’s both a keen observer of social interactions and a nosey eavesdropper.

Kerri lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband, two children, and three dogs.
