The Snow Lion is Ann’s first children’s book. The idea for the story arose from a very meaningful dream she had several years ago. Until the dream, Ann had not heard of a snow lion. A few years after the dream and before the book was to be published, Ann traveled to Dharamsala, India and was quite surprised to learn that the snow lion is a figure in Tibetan history and culture.
