Hi, I’m Elena.
I write magical children’s books, paint trees that somehow keep turning into worlds of their own, and have a slight obsession with hidden doors, strange houses, curious creatures, and impossible places.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, welcome!

Explore the books, visit the Storytree gallery, or, if you’re dreaming of writing a children’s book of your own, come behind the curtain and I’ll show you what I’ve learned about making stories work.
