Author Information

Erin Lee is an elementary school teacher and artist living in Long Sault, Ontario. She graduated from the University of Ottawa with an Honors degree in Fine Arts, Visual Arts. During her undergrad, Erin specialized in drawing/painting with a fascination in portraits. Art continues to play a large role in Erin's life, as she develops a small paint party business, sells her work, and participates in art shows within her community. Erin has now found a new love of illustration, beginning with illustrating her own book, Maggie the Magnificent. Erin has written short stories and novels since she was a child. As a young student, she idolized authors such as Robert Munsch, Dr. Suess, and Roald Dahl. Having adventures of her own that she wanted to share, Erin began to write stories herself. Erin's love of literature is what inspired her to become a teacher, so that she could share her passion for reading and always be surrounded by books. Erin currently teaches Kindergarten and though, at times, she feels like Ms. Frizzle with her wild avant-garde lessons, she adores her students and often draws upon memorable classroom moments in her stories. It is also through childhood stories that she addresses important topics, such as bullying, inclusion, and anxiety within the classroom setting. She believes that no matter how subtle or minuscule these issues may manifest within the classroom, ensuring that they do not go unheard is crucial for the growth of a child. During her spare time, Erin plays in her all-girl band on sunny restaurant patios and competes in duathlon/triathlons. She plans to complete in her first marathon next Spring. Above all, Erin enjoys spending time with her wonderful family: her amazing partner (Brad), her loving parents (Sean and Brenda), her two supportive sisters (Jenny and Kelsey), and her old, endearing black cat (Bella).
