Lizann was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. She's the author of over
12 nonfiction books and numerous short stories and poems. Her picture
book "Let's Go! The Story of Getting from There to Here" was named the
2009 TD Grade One Giveaway title, which means the book was given to
every grade one child in Canada-nearly 500,000 kids. Her work has
appeared in Ladybug, Babybug, and Highlights for Children magazines.
Lizann
is a former editor of Canadian children's magazine Chickadee. She has
an Honours English degree. When she's not writing, Lizann gardens,
bakes, works as a part-time library circulation clerk, and photographs
the flora and fauna in her backyard. (She's almost embarrassed to say it
but, as the exception that proves the rule, she actually does have
beavers in her backyard.)
