Anne Renaud credits children’s magazines for helping her hone her writing skills and, more importantly, for keeping her from giving up on her dream of becoming a children’s writer. More than 200 of Anne’s non-fiction articles, poems, craft projects, and fiction stories have been published in Canadian, American, and Australian children’s magazines, including Spider, Cricket, Hopscotch, Fun for Kidz, Odyssey, Faces, Clubhouse, and Highlights for Children
