About Author/Artist Lori

I am a Michigan native who has always loved reading as much as exploring the outdoors! Getting kids into the magic of books and the mystery of nature is as much fun for me as the kids who I write and illustrate for. These Michigan books are printed here in Michigan and all the homegrown adventure can be found in a town, city, park, or wild place near you!

About My Books

“Lori Taylor’s comically illustrated books, spattered with facts and fun activities, sow an early love for nature and all its mystery and wonder. These books inspire creativity and will help cultivate the scientists of tomorrow!”
“The personal contact with you and your enthusiasm will have a great impact in promoting the love of reading (an drawing, science, adventure, Michigan, etc.) for children.”
