Rachel Wilson
Rachel Michelle Wilson is an award-winning children’s book author-illustrator with a sweet tooth and a dash of sass. Her picture books include TO CATCH A GHOST (Scholastic) and HOW TO PEE YOUR PANTS: THE RIGHT WAY (Macmillan) which was a Kirkus Review Best Picture Book of 2024 and an ALSC Notable Children’s Book of 2025. The sequel HOW TO ESCAPE A PLAYDATE will be released in fall 2026. When Rachel is not making books, you can find her puzzling over a logic problem, hosting a living room dance party, or paddle boarding near her home in Washington state with her husband and dog.
