Luli talks about Ant & Grasshopper with Eileen Heyes, listen here

Luli Gray comes from a large family of readers, writers, and people who never shut up.

She has lived in England, Bolivia, Argentina, France, Mexico, Israel; New York, Boston, and Los Angeles, and has worked as a maid, busker, factory hand, fruit picker, receptionist, restaurant cook, actress, waitress, and food writer.

Now she lives rather quietly in Chapel Hill with a tuxedo cat and a covey of dust bunnies. She enjoys cooking, reading, and writing illustrated comic verse for friends, family, and other victims.

Falcon and the Charles Street Witch is a sequel to the A.L.A. Notable, Falcon's Egg.

Timespinners, a fantasy of time travel set in contemporary New York and the Ice Age, was published in spring of 2003. Twins Fig and Allie Cadawaller-Newton discover the secrets of time-travel in New York's Museum of Natural History.

 

The final book in the series, Falcon and the Carousel of Time (2005), returns to the character of Falcon. Falcon just wants to be an ordinary girl, to forget about magic, but her Aunt Emily and new friend Allie know Falcon could never be ordinary.

Luli's latest book is Ant and Grasshopper (2011), a picture book illustrated by Guiliano Ferri, a lively and touching twist on Aesop's famous fable.
