Elizabeth Stickney

Elizabeth Stickney, the pen name of Anne Elizabeth Schmidt, has written for very young children, including a collection of bible retellings entitled The Loving Arms of God. She has also edited the collection Acceptable Words: Prayers for Writers. Together with her husband, Gary, Anne has raised three sons and three daughters, has put up with Gary’s absurd interest in large dogs, tended vegetable and perennial gardens, and knitted things of great beauty and practicality, all while practicing the art of writing.
