Children's Fiction

When my editor read a little story I wrote about a ground squirrel and a caterpillar, he immediately said, "Stop everything else that you're doing because this is what we're going to publish!"

I am pleased to say that the two characters, Gordo and Chico, have made their way into the hearts of countless children, teachers, parents, and many others.

I write under the name, Elizabeth Hope, for children's fiction. Click here for games and fun stuff on the Elizabeth Hope website!

Gordo and Chico:

An Unexpected Friendship

When Gordo, a gopher—or so he thinks—embarks on an epic journey to the National Park to flee the destruction of his home, he is joined by his newfound friend Chico, a feisty caterpillar, who is en route to Mexico to find his long-lost family.

Along the way, they encounter odd creatures, make new friends, and escape from all sorts of dangers. And in the end, they make the greatest discovery of all, that their friendship is beyond appearances and comes straight from their hearts.
