Sonja Anderson

Sonja Anderson is a Swedish American elementary school librarian with an EdM from Harvard University. She and her Norwegian American husband, Jeff, live in Seattle, Washington, where their two daughters grew up participating in their church’s annual Santa Lucia pageant. Dala horses, straw ornaments, pepparkakor cookies, and Swedish candelabras make their holidays festive and bright. She is delighted that her first picture book celebrates her favorite Swedish traditions. Her other books for children aren't Swedish, but kids find the animal characters just as charming!
