Eric Pinder is the award-winning picture book author of several books including Counting Dinos, If All the Animals Came Inside, How to Build a Snow Bear, How to Share with a Bear, I’d Rather Be Riding My Bike, and The Perfect Pillow. A lifelong interest in science and nature led Eric to work for seven years atop the snowy, windswept summit of Mount Washington, the “Home of the World’s Worst Weather.” His experiences there inspired his first book for children, Cat in the Clouds.

He holds a BA from Hampshire College and an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts. In 2019, he received the NH Literary Award for Outstanding Work of Children’s Literature. Eric teaches creative writing at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire, and often visits schools and libraries to share stories about the writing life, books and animals.
