Jude Isabella - Author

Biography

Jude Isabella started writing kids books when she was managing editor of YES Mag: Canada’s Science Magazine for Kids. Her inspiration mostly comes from paying attention to things that make her laugh and things that make her angry (she learned that from a famous journalist named Molly Ivins). #Jude makes her living as a journalist and has found that when working she only lasts about 90 minutes before she has to get up and run around. Seriously, run. Or bicycle. Or walk really fast.#A resident of Victoria, British Columbia, Jude lives with her husband, composer Tobin Stokes, a raccoon that refuses to be evicted from the bicycle shed and a small group of deer that graze the garden each summer. When she’s not writing or interviewing scientists, Jude is most likely to be found riding her pretty green bicycle.
