Anne Sawyer-Aitch is a puppeteer and stilt-walker. She grew up reading the books of great Minnesota writers and illustrators like Maud Hart Lovelace (author of the Betsey-Tacy series) and Wanda Gag (Millions of Cats). She creates puppet pieces of all kinds: parade floats, giant stilt puppets, and intricate color shadow shows. She is a Minnesota State Arts Board Roster Artist, which means she teaches puppetry all over the state and has a lot of talented friends with strange skill sets. She lives in Minneapolis with her computer genius husband and a pack of imaginary dogs. Nalah and the Pink Tiger is her first book.
