Abstract: Information literacy is a critical 21st‐century skill, yet young readers rarely have opportunities to consider where information comes from. In this Teaching Tip, the authors use author's notes in nonfiction storybooks to promote student awareness of authorship. The author's visibility in author's notes varies along a continuum from invisible (authors discussing the subject of the text using third‐person pronouns) to visible (authors describing a personal relationship to the text). Using information literacy tenets to focus on how narrative nonfiction is created, this article highlights two specific examples of author's notes, as well as pragmatic questions related to various levels of author visibility for teachers to ask as they support their students' developing information literacy.
