Biography Ann Morris B.S., M.A., teacher, editor, award-winning author, has far-ranging interests –children, the arts, travel, education, cats, food. All are reflected in her work. She has taught children in public and private schools in the U.S. and as a Fulbright exchange teacher in England. She has also taught aspiring teachers at Queens College of the City University of New York, Kean College, N.J. (where she was Writer-In-Residence), Bank Street College and William Paterson University. Ann is an active volunteer in the Learning Leaders program in New York City. During numerous trips abroad, she has studied the history of English children’s books at Oxford University, led student-exchange programs, attended the annual Children’s Book Fair in Bologna, Italy, and researched a book about a famous children’s ballet school in Leningrad. While living in Paris, she learned to appreciate bread, cats, old markets and beautiful bridges, Her personal passion for the arts and travel are apparent in the titles of her more than 80 books for children published in the U.S., Britain, France, Italy, South Africa and Finland. When she is not on an airplane or boat or bicycle, you are apt to find her in the library or at her computer working on her latest book.  My favorite place to work!  This is my volunteer group, Learning Leaders. |
