Ann Rinaldi

Ann Rinaldi es una autora premiada y reconocida por su habilidad de dar vida a la historia en sus escritos. Nació en la Ciudad de Nueva York el 27 de agosto de 1934 y ha publicado más de cuarenta novelas, de las cuales ocho han sido destacadas por la Asociación Americana de Bibliotecas (ALA). Rinaldi es particularmente famosa por su literatura juvenil histórica, incluyendo libros como "In My Father's House," "The Last Silk Dress," "An Acquaintance with Darkness," "A Break with Charity," y "Hang a Thousand Trees with Ribbons."

Antes de convertirse en autora, Rinaldi trabajó como columnista de periódico y escribió una columna llamada "The Trentonian" durante muchos años, actividad que continuó incluso después de que su carrera como autora despegara. Su primer libro publicado, "Term Paper," fue lanzado en 1979, pero ella ya había escrito cuatro libros sin publicar antes de eso, a los que se ha referido como "terribles". La carrera de Rinaldi como columnista de periódico y su experiencia como madre han influido significativamente en su escritura. Se convirtió en abuela en 1991, y su amor por la historia se remonta a su hijo mayor, quien la introdujo en las representaciones históricas.

La carrera literaria de Rinaldi se caracteriza por su prolífica producción y dedicación a la ficción histórica. Ha escrito ocho libros en la serie Great Episode, una serie de novelas históricas ambientadas durante la era colonial estadounidense. Además, ha contribuido a la serie Dear America. A pesar de sus numerosos premios y éxitos, Rinaldi continúa escribiendo libros para jóvenes porque disfruta hacerlo. Actualmente reside en Somerville, Nueva Jersey, junto a su esposo, Ron, con quien se casó en 1960.
