Elaine Landau not only writes for children
- she writes with them, too. If you would like to learn more about having Ms.
Landau do writing workshops or other author programs at your school or library,
please email her.
Ms. Landau lives in tropical Miami with
her husband, Norman, and her son, Michael. Her husband, a top-notch researcher,
works with her on many of her books. Their son, Michael, tells jokes and
encourages them to take him to Disney World. When that doesn't work as often as
he'd like, he suggests that they eat out.
