After a short but formative stint as a children’s librarian at the Boston Public Library, Mona Kanin was a filmmaker for over 25 years. She became a producer via writing. Particularly drawn to the creative challenges of short form in all media, and the marriage between pictures and words, Kanin is now writing children’s picture book texts and poetry for adults. Kanin and her husband, the actor Henry Strozier, make their homes in North Egremont and Brooklyn.
