Can you tell me more about Miss Anna?

Since you insist, we'll tell you a little bit more.

MISS ANNA

doesn't drink coffee or tea.

It gives her a massive headache.

​

She is refraining herself from eating a Haagen-Dazs ice-cream 

(vanilla her favorite), opting for a carrot stick instead.

​

​

She currently lives in Portland, Oregon

and loves the rain that makes everything so green.

​

​

She likes Thai food.

She spent 11 years of her early years in Bangkok

eating all the savory dishes Thailand has to offer.

​

​

She's Korean (South). 

And considering that she only lived 3 months in that land,

it's amazing that she passes as a native speaker from Korea.

Still, she frequently puts her nose in a dictionary

which very much humbles her.  

​

​

She studied Linguistics and Spanish at

the University of California, Irvine.

Don't ask her to speak Spanish, please.

She's very much out of practice. 

​

​

She studied TESOL and Composition for her Masters 

during the time she lived in the Bay Area (San Francisco).

She misses Ghiradeilli and its decadent chocolate sundaes .

​

​

She never dreamt of becoming a writer.

It was serendipity, really...

​

​

She never liked numbers.

She never liked any subjects that dealt with numbers.

She was very very proud of the B- she got in Algebra.

She really worked hard for it.

​

​

Today, she is 95% healed of math anxiety.

The Numbers in the Number Story doctored her and

befriended her, making her smile with the endless stories they tell.

​

​

She wishes ALL children to be introduced to numbers

in a different light--not as calculating scrooges

but as jolly new friends!

​

"Children and Parents Deserve the BEST Play-Learning Books!" 

​

"I am like a chef. I pour all my heart, mind, soul, and spirit into the creation

of one delicious story and serve it to the invited guests--friends young and friends old.

And I love to stand back and watch them savor every piece, every slice, every garnish.

 And I encourage them to play with the food." 

​

"Many of the currently acclaimed children's books are actually not for children.

They are illustrated story books for adults and not for a family. 

I want to write stories children want to have read over and over and over again;

stories that tickle their imagination, stimulate thought and creativity, permeate

warmth and comfort, and instill the good and beautiful that is still in the world."
