Engel, Edit I was born in Hungary, and I have been in the US for over 20 years now. The fact that I come from a single parent family, and the way that my mother has always made everything in her capacity to encourage me to go after my dreams, was instrumental in my life. I was very lucky to have had all this loving attention, and a mother and grandparents that took the time to make reading fairy tales and other books a priority. Thanks to them I still have a great love for reading, and now for writing as well. I grew up on Hans Christian Andersen and Grimm Brother's fairy tales. Those fairy tales not only made me use my imaginations and had interesting stories, but I also feel that they had good teaching moments and morals. I believe that we need more books with beautiful, quality and positive thinking, so I decided to write one! A significant part of this book also comes from a meaningful life experience that I still carry with me from when I was working with kids in a cancer hospital. I learned that these children have such an extraordinary love for life. They live life to the fullest. They love everything and everybody that comes along in their life unconditionally, and always try to remain happy! These are just a few of the reasons I wanted to include them in the book. They have always been in my heart for so many years now, that I feel they deserve to become a legend in their own right! Also important for me is Christmas as it is my favorite holiday. There is something so magical about Christmas, everybody is nicer and there is just more gratitude going around the whole world. One day after putting all these things together, what is closest to my heart and is always on my mind, I just started to write, and now here we are. With this story, I would like to take you on a fantastic and emotional journey. As though written by Santa himself, I hope you will also experience all those beautiful feelings that came over me as I was writing this book. Sincerely, Edit See less
