Keiko Short has spent 25 years as an elementary school teacher, inspiring young minds and nurturing a lifelong love of stories.

With an imagination as lively as the classrooms she’s led, she now turns the page to a new chapter as a children’s author. Our Turn is her debut picture book, with many more stories waiting to be told.

Keiko lives in Castle Rock, Colorado, with her husband, two dogs, and two cats, and is the proud mother of three grown children.
