Flint, Michigan’s Christopher Curtis spent thirteen years on the assembly line at Fisher Body Plant #1 putting driver’s doors on big Buicks. This left Christopher with an aversion to getting into and out of big Buicks. He started writing while in the factory and honed his craft there.

He is a graduate of the University of Michigan-Flint.

His books include: The Watsons Go To Birmingham (1963), The Newbery Medal-winning Bud, Not Buddy, Elijah of Buxton, The Mighty Miss Malone, Mr. Chickee’s Funny Money, and the National Book Award Finalist The Journey of Little Charlie.

He currently lives in Canada.
