Hi!
Welcome to my web site

I receive many letters from readers and requests for presentations. This web site will hopefully answer your questions about me and my books, plus tell you how to contact me to speak to your school/library/conference/writing group – something I love to do!

“Anne’s delight in presenting literature to children is readily apparent.”
