Patricia Lauber says she was probably born wanting to write but had to wait until she had gone to school to learn a few things. She has been writing happily ever since and has produced about 125 books. Many are about things in the natural world, such as volcanoes, dinosaurs, and planets. Patricia loves doing the research for these books because she is always learning something new. Filled with enthusiasm about a new subject, she shares what she has learned by writing books. Patricia Lauber lives in Connecticut with her husband and their two cats, Beemer and Meetoo.
