About The Author

For Suzanne McCracken, every leaf that rustles and every quiet path in the forest tells a story. She writes sweet fairy tales inspired by nature that honor the values of wonder, kindness, and renewal. In The Secret of the Elm she has written a tender children’s book about trees, which shows her love for nature and fascination by the secret forces that connect all creatures. Suzanne believes that a good picture book about nature is the way to get children excited and curious for life. With her cheerful stories, she subtly invites children and families to go out, discover nature and appreciate how beautiful it is.
