Author Information
Annabelle Fisher is named for her mother, who loved Mother Goose rhymes and read them to little Annabelle every night. When Annabelle got to school, she became known for creating stories and poems of her own. Today, she gets to write in a second-floor office with great views of the treetops and all the critters in them. The piles of books on her floor are so high she's expecting a giant to climb down them someday. If he does, she'll invite him to dinner and write a story about him. The author lives in White Plains, New York.
