Aan Sinanta Believes in Nurturing Children
2
Writing children's books was not what Aan Sinanta
had imagined he would end up doing when he was
growing up on their family dairy farm in
Anchorage, Alaska. Theirs was a close knit family
who always had each others back. Along with his
parents and siblings, Aan was fortunate enough to
grow up in the company of his grandparents who
had a big influence on him. In particular his
grandfather, Aan considers his grandfather to be
a source of motivation. As a child, it was his
grandfather who read stories to him, and
encouraged him to read. It was many years
later, that he realized the significance of all
that reading in his childhood because thats what
made him a good writer.

In college, Aan had no plans of being a writer.
He studied World History, and his wife Cathy,
whom he met in college, was a biological sciences
major. While Cathy was working at her job as an
RN, Aan was working at a travel firm. Aan began
writing a few years into his job, and his first
book was completed in two years. He was inspired
to write for children because he believes that
they are the future. If nurtured properly, they
have the potential to achieve great things.

Besides writing, Aan Sinanta enjoys a variety of
winter sports like snowboarding, snowmobiling,
sledding, and skiing. He also likes to go for
walks and treks with his children whenever
possible. He is a great supporter of Sarah Palin,
and has been a significant contributor to her
campaigns. He is a food lover, and enjoys taking
his family out to try new restaurants. He enjoys
living in the northernmost state of the US, and
feels very patriotic towards Alaska. When he
retires, he hopes to stay in Alaska and spend his
last years admiring the beautiful landscapes.
