Did you know that reading just 10 pages a day adds up to 3,650 pages a year—that’s about 12 books and nearly one million words? Making reading a daily habit not only helps you learn and grow, but also fuels imagination and sparks creativity. It can even serve as a form of meditation, reducing stress by allowing you to slow down, focus, and engage your mind.
As an avid reader, Angela is always on the lookout for the next great book to curl up with and get lost in. She loves discovering new stories and sharing her favorite reads with others. In fact, she, her sister, and her mom started their own “Family Book Club.” Even though they live in different states—forming a bit of a triangle across the country—their shared love of reading keeps them connected!

FROM POEMS TO PAPERBACK
Each year for her daughter Misha’s birthday, Angela writes her a heartfelt poem capturing everything she’s experienced—the milestones she’s reached, the lessons she’s learned, and the moments she’s loved most over the past year. What began as a meaningful tradition has grown into something even bigger—Angela’s dream of turning one of those poems into a children’s book has officially become a reality!
A Second Story Comes to Life
That dream didn’t stop there!
Angela went on to publish a second children’s book, Misha Elle and Mellie the Moo Cow, a heartwarming story inspired by real-life moments. The book follows Angela's daughter, Misha, who wishes for a puppy but instead receives a completely unexpected companion—leading to a magical journey filled with love, friendship, and the beauty of embracing what makes us unique!
