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.

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. 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. 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.

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.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.
