About Cassidy
Cassidy Kao is a 17-year-old author who enjoys writing, dancing, and reading. She wasn’t very interested in writing until her mother introduced her to poetry when she was 8 years old. During National Poetry Month (April) of that year, she wrote at least one poem a day and posted each poem as a leaf on what became her “PoetTree.” When her PoetTree became too big to fit on her wall, Cassidy thought it would be fun to publish a book with all of her poems as a way to teach other kids everything she learned about poetry. Her first book is called Roller Coaster: A Kid’s Guide on How to Write Poetry. Her second book is Constellation Exploration, Greek Mythical Stories Retold with Simple Facts and Fun and Mysterious Riddles, a book primarily about constellations with a bit of poetry mixed in. Cassidy has since written and published two other books and continues to develop her love of writing.
