WonderToast is not a superhero with special powers, but if he were his superpower would be curiousity. WonderToast wonders about everything around him and he loves to help kids learn along with him!
His first book "WonderToast Wonders About: The Alphabet!" was released in July 2007. He also has his own line of children's clothing with some of his food alphabet friends like "N is for Nigiri" and "G is for Guacamole". WonderToast's next culinary adventure (to be released in Fall 2009) will teach numbers, counting, and the five senses!
Anna Woltz is a children's illustrator, foodie, and creator of WonderToast.
She has a background in animation and worked for many years at Nickelodeon and Fox Kids
Where did the idea for WonderToast come from? Teaching and traveling are common in Anna's family. She also has a Sicilian chef for a step-father
(lucky, huh?) This culinary exposure, growing up in a very diverse area of California, traveling, and becoming a mom, have all been great stores of inspiration for the WonderToast adventures.
Anna now lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband and their wonderful son, and is busy drawing the next WonderToast book.
