BIO
Mary Ann Fraser enjoys getting lost—in the wilderness, in the wilds of a book, or in a world of her own creation. She writes and illustrates for children of all ages with over seventy books to her credit. Mary Ann is a proud member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and a founding member of the Childrens’ Authors Network (CAN!). When she is not lost in a story, she is hiking and skiing the trails of Idaho, digging in the garden, or playing her hammered dulcimer and djembe drum (thankfully not at the same time).
