Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen is a graduate of the California Institute of Technology
with a degree in biology. She never thought that she would grow up to
become a writer; it wasn’t until she had her two children that she took time
off from being a Ph.D. candidate to pursue a career in writing. Sudipta had
her first story published in 2003 in the magazine Highlights for Children. From there, Sudipta branched out into nonfiction,
including books on science and biographies. Her most recent book is Half-pint Pete the Pirate, illustrated
by Geraldo
Valério.
Sudipta visits schools to share her stories and experience,
and teaches writing to children and adults. She lives in New Jersey with her
family (now comprised of three children, with the addition of son Sawyer in
2006) and an imaginary pony named Penny.
