History
Elizabeth was born in New York City in 1968. She graduated from Brown University in 1990. Soon after graduating from Brown, Elizabeth moved to Brooklyn and got a job as an assistant teacher at the Roosevelt Island Day Nursery School in New York City. It was during this time that she discovered her love of making music with children. Elizabeth's first album of children's music, You Are My Flower, was recorded in a single afternoon in 1998 at the home studio of Warren Defever of the band His Name is Alive. It was not intended for commercial release, but after much word of mouth demand, she released the album on her and Daniel's record label, Last Affair Records.
You Are My Flower and You Are My Sunshine have since been re-released on Elizabeth's own label, Little Bird Records. Her daughter Storey was born in New York City in 2001. At the suggestion of all-ages family music artist Dan Zanes, Smithsonian Folkways signed Elizabeth as their first new children's music artist of the 21st century.
"Little Bird, Little Bird" from You Are My Little Bird was featured on the sixth episode of season six of Futurama, titled "Lethal Inspection".

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
