Meet Writer Gone Wild Laura Crawford



I am currently the reading specialist at Sleepy Hollow School in the Chicago area. While teaching a science unit on the Arctic region, I became fascinated with the unique animals of the Arctic. The cumulative tale, In Arctic Waters, is the result of my curiosity and was written with my students in mind. I am also the author of The Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving From A to Z , Postcards From Chicago, Postcards From Washington, DC and Postcards From New York City. As you can tell, I love science and social studies. I am an active member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). In my free time, I love to visit the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago with my nieces Madilynn and Lauren. They love belugas!

  1. Laura we love the books that we have purchased. We have In Artic Waters, Postcards from Chicago, and Pilgrims Thanksgiving from A to Z. I love being able to tell my son that mom's friend is the author of these books. Look forward to more.
