Ann (Machen) Pritchard was born in Elizabethton, TN, one of 16 children. She is the Author/Illustrator/Songwriter of the children's books, Phil the Pill and Friends Making Positive Choices and Val's World Featuring The Family Unity Roundtable. The books were written to help encourage children to stay in school to get their education, learn how to read and make positive choices. They also teach children positive communication skills and help bring families closer together.
After observing many trials and tribulations throughout her life, she was inspired to encourage people of all ages to make positive choices. The choice that Ann made for her life led to the creation of the cartoon characters, Phil the Pill and Friends.
Her passion and mission is to encourage everyone that it is not the end of the world when things don't always go our way. She strongly believes that if we learn to make positive choices at an early age, we can get through more difficult challenges now and later in life.
Her books have been received positively by many, including Hillary Rodham Clinton, Laura Bush and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.
