Born on a tiny island stuck to the south coast of England, Kate Blair has worked as a museum curator, a clown and at a theme park on the Jersey Shore. She's made furniture for the Sydney Olympic Village and been a cook on a ship on the Great Barrier Reef. She now lives in Toronto and is a young adult author, a mother of two small children, and very, very tired. Her first novel. Transferral, was nominated for MYRCA, Snow Willow Award and Sunburst Awards. It was optioned for TV and translated into French. Her second novel, Tangled Planet, is out in Canada in autumn 2017, and in the US in spring 2018.

We Bury Nothing Won the 2026 Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children’s Book Award (for YA/Middle Readers)!

This is a picture I shamelessly stole from my publisher (DCB). I am not congratulating myself.

But yes! I won! I am over the moon about this. It’s a wonderful award, and one of the things that makes it so special is that the jury are students. Knowing that my book was enjoyed by the people I wrote it for means so much to me.

This year, the students were from Brock Public School, in Toronto. I went

Kate’s Quotes

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
