Lee Wind
Biography
Lee Wind writes the books that would have changed his life as a young Gay Jewish kid—and he’s always looking for ways to be a better ally! Researching Eleanor Roosevelt for his nonfiction No Way, They Were Gay? (ages 11 and up) inspired Lee so much that it sparked the idea for this picture book. Lee is also the author of the picture books Love of the Half-Eaten Peach and Red and Green and Blue and White. He runs the popular blog I’m Here. I’m Queer. What the Hell Do I Read? – words his younger self only dreamed of saying. Lee lives in Los Angeles with his husband of more than 25 years, and they have a grown daughter.
