Ann Ingalls

Ann Ingalls passes the day exaggerating (writing fiction) or telling the truth (writing nonfiction). She has written nearly fifty books for young readers. Her books have won several awards: The 2015 Annual American Graphic Design Award and the Ella Fitzgerald Foundation’s “A Book Just for Me!” When given the choice between educating children or entertaining them with her writing, Ann chooses to do both! Before she was a children’s writer, Ann taught elementary and special education classes and worked as a parent educator. Ann’s students enjoyed rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, canaries, salamanders, fire belly toads, and what seemed like millions of fish. Three new titles are forthcoming in 2024 and 2025. Ann lives in Kansas City with her husband, Winston, and two lucky black cats.
