CANSCAIP Members Ellen Bryan ObedAuthor
Dover-Foxcroft, ME
Born: November 7, 1944, Orange, New Jersey BiographyLabrador is the setting for most of the fantasy, poetry, and natural history of children's writer, Ellen Bryan Obed. BORROWED BLACK - A LABRADOR FANTASY has been translated into seven languages and appeared in thirteen different editions including a 25th anniversary edition (Breakwater Books, 2005). Her poetry has appeared in "Chickadee Magazine" and on city buses as part of the project Metroverse. Her poetry books, WIND IN MY POCKET (Breakwater Books, 1990) and WIND DANCE (Scholastic Canada,1999) revel in nature and the northern seasons. Obed's latest book, BLACKBERRY LAND, CROWBERRY SKY, (Labrador School Board, 2005) combines science, natural and cultural history, and poetry to present the northern blackberry to young readers. Obed spent ten years (and many more summers) in Labrador where she taught school, researched the flora, and raised three children. She presently lives with her husband in the company of fields and woods in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, where she writes on subjects of natural history and the north. Published Works
