About the author

Anca Ispas

Anca's stories began the way all the best ones do โ€” at home, watching her little girl grow. Every scraped knee kissed better, every bedtime giggle and every "again, Mummy!" slowly turned into rhymes, and the rhymes into books.

Writing from the heart of family life, Anca creates gentle, read-aloud picture books that celebrate the small, golden moments between parents and children โ€” the ones that feel ordinary today and unforgettable forever. Big dreams, little hearts is her promise to every child who opens one of her books: you are never too small to dream big, and never too big to be loved.
