Bio (Official version)
Victoria J. Coe is a celebrated children’s author, best known for her Fenway and Hattie series – a One School, One Book favorite, Amazon Teachers’ Pick, and the early reader selection for the Global Read Aloud. Her numerous books for children also include the chapter book series Make Way for Fenway! for which she won the 2024 SCBWI Sid Fleischman Honor Award for Humor. A dynamic presenter and workshop leader at elementary schools and writers’ organizations, Victoria is co-author of the acclaimed “how to” guides, Writing Kidlit 101 and Writing Kidlit 102.
Victoria has a remarkable talent for creating big, loveable animal characters and immersing readers in the animal’s authentic point of view. While her primary motivation is to entertain, she deeply believes that learning to appreciate perspectives other than our own has the power to change the world.
A native New Englander and imaginary New Yorker, Victoria lives in Boston and her hometown of Duxbury, MA. If not reading or writing, she is most often exhibiting her “I’m just here to have fun” dance moves or happily dive-flopping in the sea.
