The Timekeeper is a children's book about an era before time was found, "where the past and the future were nowhere around." It was written and illustrated by the late Anna Riphahn when she was only 14 years old and after she won the National Written and Illustrated By Contest for Students. As a high school sophomore, she did the illustrations for a book by Dorothy Coder called The Fuzzy Wuzzy Caterpillar. By the fall of her junior year, she had done the illustrations for a third book, Annie Mae Jumps The Broom by Diane Williams. Her life was filled with travel all over the state and country to speak about what it was like to be a student author. At home, she loved her high school and all of the art, music, theater, sports, great people, and good times that it brought to her life. Unfortunately, Anna passed away in a car accident in November of her junior year.
Anna's parents found her death brought a magnified understanding of the fact that what they treasured most about her short life was not found in her big accomplishments. The joy and comfort came in knowing that she lived well, experienced much, laughed easily, made her walk with God a priority, and hoped to be a blessing to others. She lived her day-to-day moments extremely well. It is her parents' hope that this Legacy Edition of The Timekeeper, will clearly present the story of Anna...the story behind the story. It includes a bonus section with photos and details of her amazing life of artistry and accomplishments.
The Timekeeper has also been preserved in an animated storybook video by the Good Gang Music Factory at timekeeperstory.com.
