Kate Simpson je autorkou kníh pre deti a spoluhostiteľkou podcastu o detských knihách. Jej druhá kniha, Dear Grandpa, je celá napísaná formou listov a rozpráva o výnimočnom vzťahu medzi chlapcom a jeho starým otcom, ktorí zostávajú blízko aj napriek odlúčeniu. Simpsonová sa vo svojej tvorbe zameriava na témy rodinných vzťahov a prekonávania vzdialenosti prostredníctvom komunikácie a lásky. Jej štýl písania je intímny a citlivý, čo čitateľom umožňuje hlboko sa ponoriť do emócií postáv.
