About this author

edit data

Anne E.G. Nydam has been writing poems and creating imaginary worlds since the age of six. If asked at any point since then what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would have answered, "a writer." Her love of language led her to major in linguistics at Yale University, but this was followed by an unexpected but delightful ten-year detour into teaching middle school art.
Ms Nydam is now a stay-at-home mother, artist, and writer. She lives with her family outside of Boston. She is a poor housekeeper, as is only natural in someone with so many more interesting hobbies to pursue.

Please join her at her blog on relief block prints and juvenile fantasy: Black and White, Words and Pictures.

Words of the Month - Vegetables

Around here, Memorial Day weekend is the time when gardeners get the All Clear and Full Steam Ahead to plant out the veggies. I planted my tomatoes this weekend, and prepared the bed for planting zucchini yesterday. The peas, which I planted earlier, are blooming beautifully. So it seems like a good month to put the spotlight on vegetable words. Here are some Fun Facts about the names we ca... read more »

Anne Nydam gave to: Homer Price by Robert McCloskey	My rating:
This is one of my own personal favorite books. However, I found that it required too much background explanation for my 4-year-olds and they seemed to have difficulty following some of the plot. I'll try again when they're a little older. ...Much time...more

Anne Nydam gave to: Aunt Severe and the Dragons by Nick Garlick	My rating:
This book doesn't have the depth or cleverness to be particularly fulfilling to adult readers, but I think it would make a nice early read-aloud for 4-7 year olds. The plot twists may be fairly predictable, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing for...more

Anne Nydam gave to: The Saturdays (The Melendy Quartet) by Elizabeth Enright	My rating:
I'm sorry I didn't discover this book (first of a series of 4) when my children were at that first read-aloud chapter book stage. It seems to have all the requirements: engaging characters, humor, sophisticated writing, and gentle adventures without...more

Anne Nydam gave to: Tuesdays at the Castle by Jessica Day George (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
My two fourth graders and I agree that our favorite character in this book is the castle itself. But the human cast is quite appealing, too. I like that Princess Celie's family and friends are all Good People, yet each with their own quirks and perso...more
