Annie Wedekind grew up riding horses in Louisville, Kentucky. Since then, she’s been in the saddle in every place she’s lived, from Rhode Island to New Orleans, South Africa to Brooklyn. Annie has received acclaim for the Breyer Horse Collection. Of Wild Blue, School Library Journal writes, “Horse fans and animal lovers will embrace this book with unbridled enthusiasm. It deserves a place next to Marguerite Henry or even Jack London on young readers’ bookshelves.” Of Little Prince, the Shelf-talkers, U.K., says, “It’s not often you find a book narrated by an animal, and less often you find a book that can really pull it off, but Wedekind does it perfectly!”

Annie lives with her family in Brooklyn, New York.
