Elizabeth Dulemba has always loved birds. As a kid, she used to run across back yards, flapping her arms, trying to fly (she swore she did). She later became a hang-glider pilot and flew off the top of Lookout Mountain in Tennessee. When not chasing birds, Elizabeth loves to draw, write, and teach. She has over two dozen titles to her credit, including her debut, award-winning novel, A Bird on Water Street - more birds. In the summers, she teaches in the MFA in Children’s Book Writing and Illustrating program at Hollins University in Virginia. She spends the rest of her time in Scotland, where she achieved an MFA in Illustration at the University of Edinburgh and is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Glasgow.
