About The Author
ANNA SVETCHNIKOV
Anna Svetchnikov is an award-winning author of children’s emotions and feelings in the magical, mythical and particularly human worlds.

Anna has published more than 40 books for children and their parents. She is the recipient of numerous awards including, Mom’s Choice Awards, Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Book of the Year by Stevie’s Awards, Royal Dragonfly Book Award, Reader’s Favorite, and the National Indie Excellence Award.
"The more I live, the more I recognize that teaching moments in my youth, especially provided by my parents, have shaped my life and made me who I am. It is impossible to overestimate the influence of parents who understand the hearts of their children." - Anna Svetchnikov
