about the author

judy berk

Judy Berk is a children’s book author and former kindergarten and early elementary teacher with more than 35 years of experience nurturing young minds through storytelling, reading, and imagination.
Throughout her teaching career, Judy read countless stories aloud to her students—watching firsthand how books can comfort, inspire, and spark curiosity. This lifelong connection to children’s literature naturally led her to write stories of her own—stories filled with warmth, gentle humor, and meaningful life lessons.
Her debut book, Goldifox and the Three Hares, is a heartfelt reimagining of a classic fairy tale, created to be enjoyed during cozy bedtime routines, classroom story hours, and shared family moments. Judy’s writing reflects her deep understanding of childhood development, blending engaging characters with themes of cooperation, kindness, and courage.

Now based in Pensacola, Florida, Judy continues to write stories designed to bring children and adults together—stories meant to be read aloud, talked about, and remembered long after the final page is turned.
When she isn’t writing, Judy enjoys spending time with family, reading, and finding inspiration in everyday moments that often become the heart of her next story.
