About the Author

---

Ellen Lawrence lives in the United Kingdom. Her favorite books to write are those about science and nature. Ellen loves anything to do with animals and over the years has kept pet goats, rabbits, and llamas. Now she shares her home (and her office and desk!) with three rescue cats. Pandas and orangutans are two of Ellen's favorite animals, so she was thrilled to have the chance to research these beautiful animals and write about them for these books.
