About The Author
Elvira Woodruff is the author of many popular books for children. In the fifteen years she has been writing both picture books and novels for middle grade readers her work has won many awards and honors. She was born in Raritan, New Jersey in 1951 and has lived for the last twenty years in Martins Creek, Pennsylvania. When she isn't writing she likes to travel to research her stories, work in her garden (morning glories being one of her favorite flowers), and bake cookies and pies in her kitchen.

ife doesn't always come with a map. We aren't all born with recognizable gifts that automatically direct our lives. This doesn't have to be a bad thing. Sometimes we can define our gifts and strengthen them by leaving ourselves open to new experiences. That's what happened to me.
I didn't discover my gift for writing until I was pretty much an old women of thirty-five! Even though I loved creative writing in elementary school and on into high school, I never imagined it as a career for myself. When I graduated from high school I didn't have a clue about a profession I should pursue. I thought it must be wonderful to be born with a gift for music, or art, for example, or to just know that you wanted to be a doctor.
