Annie Carroll Moore
Anne Carroll Moore (July 12, 1871 - January 20, 1961) was an American educator, writer and advocate for children's libraries. She was named Annie after an aunt, and officially changed her name to Anne in her fifties, to avoid confustion with Annie E. Moore, another woman who was also publishing material about juvenile libraries at that time. Moore wrote Nicholas, A Manhattan Christmas Story, winner of the 1925 Newbery Medal.

They threatened its life with a railway-share
They charmed it with smiles and soap.”
