Discover Miss Anne's Magical Adventure!
Welcome to the magical world of Miss Anne, who is not just any storyteller—she's been spinning children's stories for decades.
And, now at the age of 91, she is sharing her first children’s book.
About the Book
I Am a Big Brother With a Superpower
In this realistic story, Big Brother discovers he has a superpower - the ability to control his breathing - which he uses to help him cope with the arrival of his new Baby Sister. This superpower serves as a metaphor for the challenges that children face when a new sibling enters their life.
The book highlights the importance of sibling relationships and the role they play in shaping a child's development. Through the Big Brother's journey of discovering his superpower, the book shows how siblings can learn from each other and form strong bonds that last a lifetime.
Much love,
Miss Anne

Romper Room was ground-breaking in its approach to children's media, emphasizing education and socialization in a fun, engaging way.
Like an all-time favourite school teacher forever ingrained in a child's memory, Miss Anne has had an enormous impact on many children. She paved the way for several popular TV shows—Sesame Street, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and The Friendly Giant.
Combining her unique experiences and gift for teaching children, Miss Anne entertains and captures her young audience with compassion and humour. Once again, children's imaginations are stimulated through relatable characters and colourful illustrations. After all, she has forever believed that children's books should be entertaining and educational, providing young readers with valuable life lessons.
In addition to writing books, Miss Anne regularly visited the YMCA to share her love of reading and storytelling with children. She believes that every child has the potential to become a lifelong reader and hopes to inspire a new generation of book lovers.
"I've just finished reading "I Am A Big Brother With A Superpower" with a huge smile on my face. This big little book is empowering for children, reminding them that they have something powerful to control...their breath.
Thank you Miss Anne, for continuing to make children (both young and old) smile!"
