Becca McMurdie

Becca is inspired by real-life successes in wildlife rehabilitation and ecosystem revival. She writes fiction and non-fiction picture books that feature animal rescues, rainforests, and urban wildlife.

​

During the day, she is an elementary school principal in New York City.  As an educator, helping kids discover books they love is one of her favorite things to do. If she gets them hooked on a series, even better! As an author, she writes to inspire young readers to care for our planet and for each other.

​

When she is not at school, or at home writing or researching a new story, she journeys off to beaches, mountains and rainforests any chance she gets. Originally from Takoma Park, Maryland, she has lived in Mexico, Chile and Costa Rica.
