Kate Jordan
Kate Jordan has done just about everything that has to do with art: drawing, painting, weaving, ceramics . . . even ink printing and bookbinding! But if you ask her what her favorite out of the bunch is, she’ll easily say digital drawing. Brought up in a military family that moved around a lot, Kate lived an exciting childhood full of new places, new people, and new things. Now that she’s older and out of school, she finds that she prefers a quieter life at home in Fredericksburg, Virginia, with her family. She hopes one day to write her own picture book to give to her children, but for now she enjoys helping other people tell their stories with her beautiful, colorful art. She’s happiest when she’s drawing and listening to music, especially when she’s nice and cozy under a mountain of blankets on a rainy day.

“I really loved reading When Mama Grows with Me, a brightly colored picture book full of beautiful illustrations and wonderful lessons for little ones. There is so much to be learned from nature, and Rebecca Wheeler shares many interesting facts through a loving story of a child gardening with Mama. Along the way, there are also excellent lessons on emotional health as well as relaxation techniques learned through fun yoga poses. In a world where children have so much screen time every day, a book like this one is extremely valuable and important as it encourages outside time, a love of beauty and nature, and spending time with family. I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves and interacts with children!”
—Stacey Bartlett, author of Free Sings the Sea
“Rebecca Wheeler's When Mama Grows with Me is a thought-provoking story about character growth in combination with growth in the garden. This beautiful story will help a child to understand the delicate balance of nature as it correlates to the delicate balance of inner growth in little minds. The lovely illustrations by Katherine Jordan bring this story to life through her artful beauty of nature. This is a fun read for children and adults.”
