Christina Dendy is a children's and educational author based in Dayton, Ohio, in the United States. She has spent the past 20 years writing and editing a variety of K-12 social studies and other textbooks and related materials. Her published works include the picture books The Wall and the Wild (Lantana Publishing, 2021) with illustrator Katie Rewse and Hide and Shh! (Cardinal Rule Press, 2023) with illustrator Nathalia Takeyama and the science readers Astronauts (North Star Editions, August 2024) and Physical Science (Early Encyclopedias, August 2024). Four early reader biographies are forthcoming from Capstone Publishing: Simone Biles, Caitlin Clark, Jalen Hurts, and Lionel Messi (August 2026). Other published works include the historical graphic novels The Underground Railroad (2011), Bringing Home the Constitution (2011), and The North-West Resistance (2011); numerous articles in EBSCOhost's academic publications; and various poems, short stories, opinion pieces and other curious items. In her writing, she seeks to highlight themes of representation, inclusion, diversity, empathy, kindness, problem-solving, and compromise. She believes heartily in learning from one’s mistakes (even if it takes many of them) and persevering. Christina loves just about anything that involves exploration, on or off the printed page, and regularly tumbles down rabbit holes of one sort or another.
