Author of Cedric and the Dragon
|
Wherever Elizabeth Raum has lived (and she’s lived in Vermont, New Jersey, North Dakota, New York, and Michigan), she has checked the neighborhood for dragons.
“I love the idea that there are fantastic adventures awaiting us in our own backyards,” she says. But since she never found a dragon of her own, she decided to write about one instead in Cedric and the Dragon.
Cedric reminds her of her granddaughters who are learning to look for the good in others and to treat everyone with kindness. Elizabeth has written more than 50 books for children. She enjoys biking, reading, and hugging!

Dragons aren't real, of course, but scientists once believed they were closely related to snakes! In 1640, a professor of natural science at the University of Bologna, Ulissis Aldrovandi, wrote about "winged dragons flying through Africa."
A female dragon is known as a dragoness. A small or young dragon is called a dragonet.
