Elisa Stone Leahy

Elisa Stone Leahy is a Peruvian American documentary filmmaker and children’s author. She lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her long-suffering partner, brilliant children, lazy cats, and scruffy labradoodle. When she's not writing or working at the library, Elisa spends her energy on spontaneous bursts of artistic chaos and immigration activism.
