Laurence H. Leavitt’s grandfather was a classmate and close friend of Theodor S. Geisel. As a result, while growing up in Maine, Larry was exposed to a steady diet of Dr. Seuss and good old Downeast humor. These influences have inspired Larry’s debut children’s book. Larry is also a founder of a national law firm that specializes in fire and explosion cases.
