Carla Killough McClafferty (born July 11, 1958), is an American author of non-fiction for children, writing mostly about science and history. The International Reading Association awarded the 2007〔http://www.reading.org/Resources/AwardsandGrants/childrens_ira.aspx〕 Children's Book Award for Intermediate Nonfiction to her book ''Something Out of Nothing: Marie Curie and Radium''. The National Council of Teachers of English gave a 2008 Orbis Pictus Recommended book designation to ''In Defiance of Hitler: The Secret Mission of Varian Fry''. ==Personal life== McClafferty was born, raised, and still lives in Arkansas. She grew up on her parent’s rice and soybean farm in the tiny Lonoke County community of Tomberlin. About attending England Elementary School she says, “We didn’t even have a library; instead, a shelf filled with books stretched across the side of the room beneath the windows.” She has three children, Ryan, Brittney, and Corey McClafferty. In 1988, her son Corey, at the age of fourteen months, fell from the backyard swing and died from a head injury. This tragedy led to her first book, ''Forgiving God''. Since then, she has researched and written four non-fiction books for young readers.
