ⓘ About Laura Joffe Numeroff
She was thrilled when she was told she could take any six library books home. She would lie on her bed and just read for hours. Then as quickly as she finished the six books, she would head on back to the library to get more. She credits her current profession to two very specific childhood favorites, claiming that they are the reason she is a writer: “Eloise” by Kay Thompson and “Stuart Little” by E. B. White. Now she loves nonfiction, biographies, and stories that deal with travel. Besides reading, she also loves watching movies. One year, she saw a total of seventy-two movies. She enjoys exploring the state of California (where she lives) and enjoys driving through the country and watching the cows (she spent twenty-five years in New York City). Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Children's Books series, Laura Joffe Numeroff has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
