Elaine Landau, prolific children's non-fiction author and great friend and mentor to many in the Florida SCBWI organization has passed away. Elaine was the author of several hundred books with topics ranging from the Gulf Oil Spill to head lice to twenty-eight individual books about various dog and cat breeds, from short stature to Sasquatch (Her website, _www.elainelandau.com_ (http://www.elainelandau.com) ). I have never entered a school library for a visit without noticing one of Elaine's books. Elaine's boundless energy was an inspiration to many, and her giving personality made her a friend. She will be greatly missed by many.

Best wishes, Alexandra Flinn
