Ann Whitford Paul

    Ann Whitford Paul's enduring fascination with Christmas, tempered by the overwhelming chaos it can bring, fuels her creative spirit. She finds inspiration for her picture books through the experiences of her grandchildren, a natural evolution after years of reading bedtime stories to her own children. Paul, who taught picture book writing for years, continues to share her passion for the craft. When not writing or teaching, she finds quiet inspiration in the simple wonders of nature, from a purring cat to a spider's web.
