=== When she was a little girl, her parents encouraged her artistic talents. Learn all about it in her book Hands. ===

==Lois Ehlert is often inspired to write stories about things that have happened in her life. One day, Lois Ehlert came home to her apartment and found a squirrel inside! This inspired her to write the book Nuts to You! After reading her book, our students were inspired to imagine what they would do if they came home to find a wild animal in their house!==
