About the Author

Allison Antonio has a passion for capturing others' imaginations! Whether as a child telling dramatic stories, or as a teacher creating adventures for her students, Allison has always loved storytelling. Now, she uses her artistic abilities to bring the stories of Annabelle to life for all to see. Lani Lupul spent 10 years writing in the corporate post-secondary education world before marrying her carpenter husband and becoming a stay-at-home mama. Her two young daughters are her daily creative muse, inspiring home decor projects (function and beauty!), taking up watercolour (to relax!) and writing (to express!). Lani has an insatiable desire to lead and inspire women in their daily life, with the motivation that small things matter. This passion took form in her lifestyle blog she wrote for 10 years along with leading various women's groups through her church over the years. Lani believes that we can daily spark imagination in children and push them to reach for courage and kindness in all things.

Reviews

"Annabelle's Red Shoes is a warm, caring story of a parent's love for their daughter, and God's plan for her, too. We love having it as part of our book collection for our boys." Dad, reader
"As a lover of ballet, my daughter loves Annabelle's Red Shoes! As her anxious mom, I love that it's an avenue that encourages her (and her mama) to be brave." Mom, reader
"In this book Lani Lupul, the author, shows what two loving parents can do to encourage and foster boldness and confidence in their young daughter. Then when that young daughter takes it on as her own she realizes she can go anywhere she wants to go in this world! I really love the heart of the story especially because I have two daughters of my own. It's so important to encourage the uniqueness of our children and to help them grow with love & confidence building experiences! I look forward to reading the next books in this wonderful series!" Mom, reader
