Happy Birthday, Elizabeth Laird! While you're best known for beautiful classics like 'Red Sky in the Morning' and powerful novels such as 'Kiss the Dust,' we'd love to know your secret—are those captivating characters based on real-life adventures or just lots of tea break daydreaming?Your timeless tales continue delighting every generation; perhaps someday archaeologists will designate a special "Elizabeth Era" in children's literature. Until then, keep writing phenomenal stories—we'll be happily reading them with cake crumbs bookmarking each favorite page. Wishing you another joyful chapter filled with laughter, inspiration—and hopefully fewer plot twists from unruly fictional characters!
