In spite of the adage to write what you know, Anne Marie Pace has never been a vampire, a ballerina, a groundhog, or a tow truck driver. Her picture books include SUNNY’S TOW TRUCK SAVES THE DAY (Abrams Appleseed, illustrated by Christopher Lee); GROUNDHUG DAY (Disney-Hyperion, illustrated by Christopher Denise); PIGLOO (Henry Holt, illustrated by Lorna Hussey); BUSY-EYED DAY (Beach Lane Books, illustrated by Frann Preston-Gannon); and the four books of the VAMPIRINA BALLERINA series (Disney-Hyperion, illustrated by LeUyen Pham), which has been adapted into Disney Junior’s Emmy-nominated hit animated series VAMPIRINA. Out in 2022 is MOUSE CALLS, illustrated by Erin Kraan, from Beach Lane Books. She lives with her family in Albemarle County.
