Biographical / Historical

Laurie Friedman was born January 28, 1964, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She was educated at the Sorbonne in Paris, and at Tulane University. She has two children. She had a business career before beginning her writing career; publishing her first book, A Big Bed for Jed, in 2002. This was followed by a series of chapter books featuring an 8-year-old girl. Friedman says that she enjoys writing about change and transition, and hopes her books will help children realize that change doesn’t have to be bad, just different.
