Elizabeth Shreeve

Award-winning author Elizabeth Shreeve writes children’s books that celebrate the history and diversity of life on Earth. Elizabeth grew up on the Atlantic Coast in a family of scientists and storytellers. She majored in geology at Harvard College, where she studied with renowned scientists Stephen Jay Gould and E.O. Wilson and snuck into art history classes whenever possible. While at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Elizabeth worked at the Archaeological Exploration of Sardis in Turkey and fell in love with the wonders of the ancient world. She went on to a career in urban design and now writes full-time, aiming for stories that spark curiosity and engage young readers to each other and to the natural world. When not visiting schools or researching a new book, Elizabeth lives in northern California with her family, including Hector the PaleoDog.
