Joan Holub es una autora bestseller estadounidense de libros para niños, con más de 200 títulos en su haber. Se graduó de la universidad con un título en bellas artes y comenzó su carrera como directora de arte en una firma de diseño gráfico en Texas. Sin embargo, su verdadera ambición siempre había sido estar involucrada en la industria de la edición infantil, por lo que logró su sueño tras mudarse a la ciudad de Nueva York, el centro de la industria editorial.
Una vez en Nueva York, Holub trabajó como directora de arte asociada en Scholastic antes de dedicarse finalmente a la escritura. Empezó a enviar sus manuscritos a principios de la década de 1990 y logró su primer éxito en 1996, cuando vendió sus primeros dos libros. Desde entonces, ha colaborado con Suzanne Williams en dos series populares, "Goddess Girls" y "Heroes in Training". Los libros de Holub han sido traducidos a varios idiomas y han aparecido en la lista de bestsellers del New York Times.
La escritura de Holub abarca una amplia gama de temas y géneros, que incluyen libros ilustrados, libros de capítulos tempranos y novelas juveniles de grado medio. Algunas de sus obras notables incluyen "Zero the Hero", "I Am the Shark", "Bears Are Best!", "Mighty Dads", y las series "Goddess Girls" y "Heroes in Training". También ha trabajado con ilustradores notables como Tom Lichtenheld, Laurie Keller y James Dean. Los libros de Holub han recibido reseñas con estrellas y han aparecido en listas notables, incluida la lista de bestsellers del New York Times.
Además de su escritura, Holub también se dedica a promover la alfabetización y a incentivar a los niños a leer. Tiene un sitio web donde comparte información sobre sus libros, eventos venideros y recursos para maestros y padres. A través de su escritura y promoción, Holub ha realizado una contribución significativa a la literatura infantil y ha inspirado a innumerables jóvenes lectores.
