Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp are book enthusiasts, cooks, and friends who came together to co-author The Book Club Cookbook: Recipes and Food for Thought from Your Book Club's Favorite Books and Authors (Tarcher, 2004), featuring recipes and discussion ideas for adult book clubs. They were motivated to write The Kids' Book Club Book after librarians, parents, and teachers who attended their talks asked for a similar book for the growing number of youth book clubs across the country. During their eighteen months of research and writing on this trend, they were inspired by the enthusiasm and ideas of youth book club members, and the insights of notable children’s authors whom they contacted. They relished their journey into children’s literature. The authors continue to participate in many book clubs, both with adults and children. They enjoy speaking about book clubs, and appreciate their ongoing conversations with book and food enthusiasts across the country. They both live with their families in the Boston area.
