Laurie Ann Thompson
, 1945 - 2015
Laurie Ann Thompson was an American writer who grew up in a small town in rural northern Wisconsin. She graduated from college with a degree in Applied Mathematics and later became a software engineer. She later began writing for children and young adults. Most of her books help her readers have a new understanding of the world. According to Thompson, each person is capable of doing amazing things once you discover your talent, passion and purpose. This explains why she wrote the book titled Emmanuel’s Dream that won the Schneider Family Book Awards. She has written many other books, notably Be a Changemaker: How to Start Something that Matters (2014), My Dog is the Best (2015), and Elizabeth Warren’s Big, Bold Plans (2020).
