Books Together: children's books for everyone. 

Hello and welcome to Books Together!  This website is the work of Anamaria Anderson (that's me), and I've been writing here more-or-less regularly since 2007. Lately, it’s been less-and-less, so this page is a placeholder while I figure out what to do with this site.

In my other life, I'm a museum educator at the National Gallery of Art (sometimes, happily, the two intersect). I live in Arlington, VA with my husband and our two children, 19-year-old Leo (in college now) and 15-year-old Milly, across the street from the house where I grew up.

More about me:

• Writer and translator

• Museum Educator and Senior Teaching Artist, National Gallery of Art

• Chair, 2021 USBBY Outstanding International Books (OIB) committee (2018-2021)

• Quicklists Consulting Committee Member (2014-2016)

• 2014 Batchelder Award Committee Member

• United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY), ALA and ALSC, SCBWI

Please see my review policy for more information about what sorts of things I review at Books Together, and thank you for visiting!  I hope you'll come back soon.
