About Elvira Berg Ashby

I’m an author, mother of two and a speech-language-pathologist.  I love dancing, having a Swedish “fika” (coffee and a nibble) and reading, reading, reading of course!

I’ve been working with children with language disorders for over fifteen years, and during this time I’ve become more and more interested in what makes texts easy to read and worth reading, and how children’s books can be used to build language skills.

I write for children as Elvira Ashby, and for grown-ups as Elvira Berg. Inbetweeners are free to choose!
