About the author & imprint

Elizabeth Sachar —
author, educator,
storyteller.

I am a Massachusetts-based author and educator. After three years teaching elementary school, I decided it was time to contribute to my passion for early literacy not just as a teacher, but as a storyteller.

From a young age, I wrote and sketched books, and now I am finally bringing those ideas to life. My debut, Caterpillar and the Dark, is published under my imprint Black Cat Tuxedo, named for my two cats, Tony and Finn.
