About the Author
In spite of the adage to write what you know, Anne Marie Pace has never been a vampire, a bear, a ballerina, or a sledding pig. She is the author of a number of published and upcoming picture books, including NEVER EVER TALK TO STRANGERS and A TEACHER FOR BEAR, both published by Scholastic Book Clubs; the VAMPIRINA BALLERINA series, illustrated by LeUyen Pham, published by Disney-Hyperion, which is soon to be a television series from Disney Junior; and PIGLOO, illustrated by Lorna Hussey, published by Henry Holt. Someday, she hopes to write books about what she does know: whistling, baking blue-ribbon-winning chocolate chip cookies, and schlepping kids around in a minivan, if she can find a way to make any of that interesting. Upcoming picture books include GROUNDHUG DAY, illustrated by Christopher Denise (Disney-Hyperion, 2017) , and BUSY-EYED DAY, illustrated by Frann Preston-Gannon (Beach Lane Books, 2018) . She lives with her family in Virginia.
