Elsa Bornemann (February 20, 1952 - May 24, 2013) was an Argentine children's writer who was a doctor of the Arts, polyglot and composer. Her books have been translated into many languages, including Braille.

Biography

Elsa Bornemann was born in the Parque Patricios neighborhood of Buenos Aires to Wilhelm Karl Henri Bornemann and Blancanieves Fernández. She was a teacher, having received her degree in the University of Buenos Aires.

During the 1976-83 National Reorganization Process, her book Un elefante ocupa mucho espacio was censored and banned.
