The Halloween Costume Ball

Anne Sawan is a children’s author and child psychologist. In 2014 she won the International Book Contest by Inclusive Works and Clavis Publishing for her picture book What Can Your Grandma Do? During a stroll through the book store, Anne noticed that all books about grandparents tend to show them doing things such as playing bridge or knitting. And yet there are so many active grandparents! To Anne, family is very important. She’s happily married with her best friend, and mother of five active and sometimes aggravating children. Besides them, she also loves to eat, run, write and read.
