Montessori Storybook Series
The Montessori Storybook Series was inspired by a school residency that Elandara did .with three primary classrooms at The Montessori School of West Hartford while she lived in Connecticut. She was hired as an artist in residence and created three original paintings, one for each classroom. At the end of the week long residency, Elandara told the children an interactive impromptu story that related to the painting. After completing the residencies, Elandara was so moved to turn the oral story into books.
​
Thus began her new adventure into writing , illustrating and publishing children's books!
