About the Author

Michael Chanin has a master's degree in counseling from the University of San Francisco and is a counselor and social worker specializing in the needs of children and adolescents. He has found that "as a clinician, I have the opportunity to use stories with my young clients. Sometimes these stories are tools to teach a lesson or soothe a troubled soul; they are often an effective way to touch the spark of wonder in us all." Mr. Chanin lives in Santa Cruz, California, with his wife, Kim, and their two cats.
