Lauren Soloy - Author

Lauren Soloy’s picture books include The Hidden World of Gnomes, When Emily Was Small and Tove and the Island with No Address. She currently lives in a house that is exactly 100 years older than she is, in rural Nova Scotia, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. She shares her home with her librarian husband, two curious children, an ever-expanding collection of books, two hives of bees and one cat. She has a Visual Arts BFA with Honours from the University of Victoria, and a certificate of Fine Furniture from Camosun College. Along the way, she has learned to make a Queen Anne highboy, a pottery mug, a hand-knit pair of socks, a headstand and a mess.
