Natalie Lloyd:
(born February 2).
American children’s author.
Lloyd lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with her husband and dogs. She was born in Tennessee with a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease, which means she only grew to 4 foot 8 inches tall and used either a walker or a wheelchair until seventh grade. She did a degree in journalism in college.
I like The Eiffel Tower because it looks like steel and lace.
October made the leaves on Main Street fit for a crown. They dripped from the trees in jewel-toned shades: yellow and orange and fiery red. The cool wind sent a confetti-cluster of leaves down around us.
The passage describes autumn leaves falling along Main Street in vivid shades of yellow, orange, and red. “Fit for a crown” is a metaphor that portrays the leaves as beautiful and regal; “confetti-cluster” compares the wind-blown leaves to the festive paper scattered about during a celebration.
