WELCOME!


I’m Angela Calabrese – author, reading specialist, and kid at heart.


My favorite pastime is writing quirky and heartwarming stories for my favorite audience – children.
​

Fix yourself a cup of tea and get comfy. I love when friends stop by.

 

​Meet Joey –
Stellar pitcher, sensitive soul, lover of Nonna’s meatballs.

Meet Bobbi –
Awesome shortstop, physically flawed, brimming with poise and pluck.

Watch their friendship evolve from a strikeout to a home run.
​
Two cultures. One desire. Acceptance.
