About Laurel G.

About Me
I fell in love with books as a child at The Rye Free Reading Room. Years later, my daughter and I exhausted the picture book collection at our local library in Lewisboro, New York. That’s when I started writing picture book stories of my own. Apart from writing, I like gardening and planting native plants that attract birds. A few times a month, I take a short train ride into Manhattan. Not surprisingly, the enchantment of birds and the magic of New York City are reflected in two of my picture book stories.
What inspires me is cultivating in children a sense of wonder and curiosity about nature and introducing them to the brilliance of art and architecture.
– Laurel G.
Laurel G. writes picture book stories!
I wanted kids to fall in love with birds as much as I have, so I wrote I Wish They Would Come in for Tea (subtitled Making Friends with Birds), a sweet, little board book story.
I wanted to introduce kids to fine art in a fun and exciting way, so I wrote Betcha I Can Roll that Dime All the Way Down the Guggenheim!, a fast-paced, rollicking read-aloud.
