BIO
Laura Elizabeth Baukol
Laura lives outside of Boulder, Colorado with her two daughters, husband, and snuggly cat. When she isn't writing children's books, she's working as a speech pathologist in the local schools.

Hobbies
When I am not working as a speech pathologist or writing, you can find me strolling neighborhood trails, volunteering at my kids' school, doodling, reading everything, practicing yoga, riding my Peloton, cooking (sometimes delicious meals), arranging flowers, and playing in the backyard with my family.
