Bustard, Anne - Writer

BUDDY: THE STORY OF BUDDY HOLLY (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers/A Paula Wiseman Book, 2005) is Anne Bustard’s newest publication. This lively picture book biography of a rock ‘n’ roll legend was inspired by Holly’s music and life.
Anne’s first children’s book, T IS FOR TEXAS (Voyageur Press), is an alphabet book about the Lone Star state.
Born and raised in Hawaii, with a few non-hula lesson years in California sandwiched in between, Anne Bustard moved to Texas for college—and stayed.
A former elementary school teacher, and then co-owner of Toad Hall Children’s Bookstore, Anne now teaches wannabe teachers at the University of Texas at Austin and writes.
