Hello! I’m Danielle Steel, and I’ve been writing stories and drawing silly pictures since I was old enough to hold a crayon. (I wasn’t very good back then, but I had a lot of fun!)
I grew up in [City, State] where I spent most of my time reading books up in my favorite tree, convinced I could talk to squirrels. That’s probably why so many of my books are about talking animals!
After studying [Your Degree] at [Your University], I worked as a [Your Old Job] for a few years. But I missed the squirrels and the stories, so I decided to become a full-time author.
My writing philosophy is simple: **stories are magic**. They can make you laugh, teach you to be brave, and show you new worlds. I believe every kid deserves to see themselves as the hero of a story.
