Anna-Maria Crum started writing and illustrating her stories when she was seven years old. Today, she's an award-winning illustrator and the author of 22 grade school readers. When she's not writing, she's busy playing fetch with her dog, Tucker, and teaching him what things he can jump up on (couches, chairs, bed, laps) and what he can't (tables, kitchen counters, stove, and window ledges). Readers can look for him in one of the illustrations in "E" is for Eucharist.
