That involved getting her MA in Children’s Literature at Simmons College as well as an MFA in Writing for Children. She had to inject quite a bit of effort to get to where she is today. Her decision to pursue writing did not automatically open doors for Anna. If her fire for writing had been dulled by the rigors of life and the complications that pursuing one’s career can often attract, the community at Eric Carle Museum rekindled it. The museum gave Anna Staniszewski exactly what she wanted, an environment filled with people that loved children’s books with a passion. She eventually found her way to Eric Carle Museum in Amherst, Mass. Life wasn’t the straight and narrow path she sought after school.

Nothing could stop Anna from pursuing her passions.Īnd she did just that at Sarah Lawrence College where she studied Theater. She also thought she could have some fun being a ballerina. But she would have been just as happy teaching or even acting. Writing wasn’t the only thing that occupied her mind, though.Ĭertainly, she dreamt of being an author. None the less, she persisted, putting her skills to the test with her old but reliable Polish typewriter. She had some luck with her English books, though she will be the first to disparage her poems for being especially terrible. Even as a resident of Westborough, though, she still indulged in reading stories written in Polish on top of all the English children’s stories that came her way.Īnna’s love for reading eventually fostered a desire for writing, and she fed that desire by experimenting with poetry. To be specific, she was born in Warsaw, though most of her childhood memories revolve around Westborough, Massachusetts where she grew up.Īnna has had a passion for reading for so long as she can remember. Anna loves children’s books, and she eventually chose to combine that with her passion for writing to deliver stories aimed towards younger audiences.Īnna Staniszewski comes from Poland.
