Rachel Tawil Kenyon is cousin eleven-of-seventeen in a huge, out-loud Jewish family. She was born in New York, raised in Los Angeles, and is now settled in Middle Tennessee. For Rachel, writing in rhyme comes naturally and writing about life comes from experience. Not a smooth journey by any means, Rachel lends her past choices and mistakes and the lessons she has learned, to her writing. Her journey to being a published author started in a journal and, as far as she’s concerned, will always have a home there. “Words matter,” she says, “words are powerful.”
Rachel is passionate about promoting literacy and a love of books. “I believe whole-heartedly that the key to decreasing poverty and injustice lies in literacy and education. And the best way I can participate in that effort is by helping kids find a love of reading.”
Rachel manages an ongoing book drive that has resulted in thousands of books for kids living with poverty. For Rachel, the best place to spend time is in the classroom. She’s often heard reminding us all…“These kids…they’re gonna change the world.”
