A Dinki Di Aussie, Ann was born and raised in Sydney, Australia but now enjoys living on the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland. A teacher and now a grandmother, she has always loved children's books, particularly rhyming stories. She has written many rhymes over the years, and has finally created her first book - "Where is Silly Bear?". Ann was privileged to work with a very talented artist for the illustrations in "Silly Bear" - they really helped make the book.
