Life contained many joys and mysteries and she wanted to write about it. She began drawing as a preschooler, which lead to stories. When she learned to write in cursive in third grade, the stories came faster and faster and papers piled up. You can read one of Anne's stories. It was a good thing she lived in a paper mill town!

The magic of a winter’s day remains, but life’s big questions also challenge her. Why are some people hungry on an earth that can produce enough food for everyone? Why is there still war? How can we work to bring about a world in which all children have love, security, education, and shelter?

You’ll find the threads of both running through her writings.
