Children’s book author L.T. Caton knew early in her teaching career that she wanted to be a writer. As a young student, history was her least favorite subject because she found it boring and often questioned why the historical facts in textbooks provided one perspective.
As a teacher and writer, L.T.’s goal is to educate students in a fun way about people in history who are often not mentioned in textbooks and explore the many conflicting versions of history. She hopes to achieve this goal through the book series, Find Me in Time, a collection of chapter books covering significant historical events or periods.
L.T. thinks a great book has relatable characters, an engaging plot, and a lesson learned that can be applied to real-life long after the book is closed. She hopes her books inspire a love of reading and, in particular, motivate children of color and young girls to learn about people in history who look like them.
Hailing from New York, when she’s not writing fascinating historical fiction stories for young readers, L.T. enjoys being near the ocean—fishing, walking on the beach, sailing, and cycling. She also enjoys baking, cooking, traveling, community service, and being with family and friends. Her family, including her parents, sister, and late maternal grandmother, have supported her professional journey.
Find Me in Time’s debut title is Meeting Columbus, about the famed explorer’s first landing in the New World.

Find Me In Time: Meeting Columbus by L.T. Caton starts with a harmless game of hide-and-seek that turns into a magical time for young kids, discovering something so amazing as a tree house that hides cool tricks to encourage kids to create their adventures. With a magical tree to ride through time in, the possibilities of discovery are nearly endless. But there’s no telling where they will wind up or who they will meet on their journeys. Can they time-travel in this strange tree? Is the time-traveling tree real, imaginary, or something magical? Where should they go? What if something goes wrong? How will they get back?
Find Me In Time is a wildly entertaining story that will keep kids paying attention to every page as they tour history in a brand-new way. The young group of kids traveling in the tree house learns so much more than what a specific place in time looked like. You will be encouraged to learn more about history, like the children in the story. L.T. Caton is either a history buff or has spent some serious time researching the places, times, and history that happen in each location. The story flows smoothly from beginning to end as we are transported through time with the kids while holding on tight for whatever adventure Caton has planned in the following chapters. I highly recommend it to those who are adventurous or who enjoy history. I hope to see many more stories like this in the future.
