About the author

Holli Whaling

Holli Whaling is a children’s book author who writes stories kids actually want to read. She began with adventure and survival fiction, creating the acclaimed How We Survived series, including Lost at Sea, Lost in the Amazon, and Buried in the Rubble, books praised for their gripping narratives, vivid characters, and themes of resilience and hope. With a background in creative writing, she builds every book around one goal: pull a young reader in and keep them turning pages.

The Best Jokes Every Kid Should Know series came from the other end of that mission. Holli had already made reading a habit at home, but she wanted her stepson Evan to love it, and laughter became the anchor. Clean, age-matched jokes gave him something he chose to pick up on his own, and a series was born. Evan went on to co-write the 10-year-old edition, and his little brother Asa co-wrote the 7-year-old edition. Each title is tuned to what genuinely makes a child that age laugh, from first knock-knock jokes at six to quick-witted one-liners at eleven.

When she is not writing, Holli is reading, traveling, and spending time with her husband, her stepson Evan, and her son Asa.
