Katie Summers has been entertaining her family and friends with stories of her adventures and travels since she was a little girl. Born in England to acclaimed British music manager, Jazz Summers and American school teacher, Angela, Katie’s life is anything but ordinary. From the time she was seven years old she began traveling back and forth alone between America where she lived with her mother, and England, to see her father for her summer vacations and holidays.  From the people she met, to the places she visited, the things she did, and the lessons she learned, Katie’s transatlantic travels made for an interesting life.

Becoming a wife and mother and raising three young daughters has been a different kind of adventure for Katie, one which led to the adventures of “Claire Extraordinaire.” Both a desire to see her children represented in books, and a way to keep the memory of her late father alive, Claire Extraordinaire combines the lives and tales of very real people into a fun and exciting way to share their extra-ordinary lives.
