Elizabeth Flanders

After Elizabeth’s bachelor’s degree, she traveled internationally teaching English as a foreign language. Arriving back in the U.S.A. she went to graduate school earning a master’s degree in early childhood and special education. Her professional life spanned 40 years in public and private settings, as a teacher, administrator and creator of new programs—often serving children and families made vulnerable to poverty. She wrote this fantasy book for young people in the middle grades, like her grandson, who are looking to better understand the environment and are on a journey to find their special gifts to offer the world. She dedicates this book to her grandson.
