Kate Petty was a widely-published author of both fiction and non fiction titles. Before her death in 2007 she had worked in publishing for many years, and was most recently the children's book publisher for the Eden Project.
Kate Petty's output was prolific: she wrote almost 100 books and her gift was to be able to give the right amount of information in an appropriate way for a particular age group. Rabbits, a first introduction to the subject for a young owner of a new pet, Bicycles, a stunning picture book showing the importance of bicycles around the world, Made with Love, an informative and un-shy look at the difficult topic of where babies come from - in all of these her sense of the appropriate needs of the readers combined with a total grasp of the subject matter made her books a success. Petty had the gift for friendship. She was a popular editor and collaborator and enjoyed working with others. Transplanted from London to Cornwall in the last year of her life, though frequently in pain, she set about making new friends, charming all who encountered her. She is survived by her husband Michael, publishing manager for the Eden Project, a son and a daughter.
