Not only is it a good story, but it is also written in very easy to understand language and is helped along by the addition of illustrations, useful in truly bringing the story to life."

Elena Paige loves creating stories which inspire and transform young readers. She writes from the heart and especially loves weaving magic into many of her books. She never releases a book without running it past her two marketing consultants - her daughter, aged 11 who inspects all books for elements of magic, and her son 13, who insists every story must include humor. Of course, they don't always get their way!
Her favorite children's books include The Hobbit, The Faraway Tree adventures, The Lion the witch and the wardrobe, anything Roald Dahl, and her absolute favorite No Flying in the House. As a child, she thought magic was real and used to try to convince her teddy to come to life. Tired of waiting she now has a Moodle (dog) companion that rarely leaves her side.
Her greatest value in life is CREATIVITY - nurturing it, enhancing it and using it! She loves inspiring children through her school visits to believe in themselves and accept their own way of creating, even if it's outside the box! The most amazing creatives of our time rarely fitted in!
On Sunday mornings you can find her hiding under her doona cover reading, while her children are wondering where their favorite book has disappeared to.
