Ann McCallum Staats

Ann McCallum Staats is the award-winning author of over a dozen children's books, mostly nonfiction. A former teacher, she has taught in three countries and at three different levels (elementary math, college English, high school English as a Second Language). Her very first teaching gig was in a one-room school in northern British Columbia, Canada. Ann's book research includes interviewing incredible people (Most recently, a senator, astronauts, and jet and commercial pilots) and conducting field tests such as scuba and sky diving. Ann's first book "The Secret Life of Math," won ForeWord Review's Gold Book of the Year and she hasn't stopped since. When she's not writing, Ann travels, mentors, and connects with audiences.
