Cynthia Levinson was in high school when Audrey Faye Hendricks marched to jail, and she knows she would not have been as brave as Audrey. But when she met Audrey forty-five years later, she knew she had to write a book about her for young readers. In addition to The Youngest Marcher, she has written about social justice in Watch Out for Flying Kids and We've Got a Job. She and her husband currently divide their time between Austin, Texas and Boston, Massachusetts.
