Susan Goldman Rubin è un'autrice affermata con oltre cinquanta libri di saggistica per giovani lettori, specializzata in arte, storia e biografie. Tra le sue opere più note figurano "Andy Warhol: Pop Art Painter", "The Yellow House: Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin Side by Side" ed "Edward Hopper: Painter of Light and Shadow". Ha inoltre esplorato temi di giustizia sociale in titoli come "Freedom Summer: The 1964 Struggle for Civil Rights in Mississippi" e si è dedicata alla biografia musicale con "Music Was It! Young Leonard Bernstein".
Originaria del Bronx, Rubin inizialmente ha intrapreso la carriera artistica e ha illustrato i suoi primi tre libri illustrati prima di dedicarsi alla scrittura. La sua formazione artistica influenza le sue approfondite esplorazioni delle vite e dei processi creativi degli artisti, come dimostrano opere come "Diego Rivera: An Artist For The People" ed "Everyone Paints! The Art and Lives of the Wyeth Family". Docente di lunga data presso il UCLA Extension Writers Program, Rubin combina una rigorosa ricerca con una narrazione accessibile per coinvolgere i giovani lettori in complessi temi storici e artistici. Attualmente vive a Malibu, in California.
