SARAH ALLEN is a poet and author of books for young readers. Her first book, WHAT STARS ARE MADE OF, was an ALA Notable Book of 2020 and her second, BREATHING UNDERWATER, is a Jr. Library Guild Selection for 2021. Kirkus Reviews called it “a heartfelt, multifaceted treasure hunt.” Born and raised in Utah, she received an MFA in creative writing from Brigham Young University, and now lives in Tampa, Florida. She spends her non-writing time singing show tunes too loudly and going through the complete filmography of David Ogden Stiers. Find her online @sarahallenbooks.
