Candace Fleming

Fleming in 2015.

Candace Groth Fleming (born May 24, 1962)[1] is an American writer of children's books, both fiction and non-fiction.[2]

Candace Groth was born in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. She married Scott Fleming. From 1997 she was a teacher at William Rainey Harper College near Chicago, at least to 2005.[1]

The picture book Professor Fergus Fahrenheit and his Wonderful Weather Machine was published by Simon & Schuster in 1994 as written by "Candace Groth-Fleming" and illustrated by Don Weller (LCCN 93-4432). The Library of Congress learned then from the publisher that she would use the surname Groth-Fleming with Simon & Schuster, simply Fleming with A. A. Knopf.[1]
