Anna Cabrera tells stories for a living: real ones, magical ones, bigones, tiny ones, and the kind that make you stop and say, "Tell methat story again!"When she was little, her favourite place in the whole world wasthe library. She'd sit cross-legged for hours, flipping throughbooks about faraway places, silly characters, and brave kids whodid the impossible. (Sometimes she even pretended the librarycard was a secret key.)Now she spends her days helping people -- grownups with bigideas and kids with big imaginations -- find the words to say whatmatters most. She's worked with teachers, business bosses, artists, and dreamers from all over the world.And now, she's written a book just for you!
