ABOUT ANA MARIA MACHADO - Ana Maria Machado began her career as a painter, then became a teacher, writer and translator. Leaving Brazil due to the political situation, she lived in exile working as a journalist in Paris for "Elle" and in London for the BBC. Upon returning to Brazil and Rio de Janeiro, she continued a career in broadcasting and writing. She received the Hans Christian Andersen Prize for children's literature in 2000 and has been awarded the National Literary Prize by the Brazilian Academy.
Julie Kline interviewed Ana Maria Machado in 2000 for the Cooperative Children's Book Center at the University of Wisconsin - Madison: http://www.soemadison.wisc.edu/ccbc/authors/machado.asp
Although very few of Ms. Machado's more than 100 other children's books have been published or distributed here, they are well known in many other nations. Her books for children translated into English include the picture book Ni?a Bonita (Kane/Miller) and the novels Me in the Middle and From Another World (both: Groundwood). She is represented in the anthology On the Wings of Peace (Clarion).
