Danielle Anderson-Craig
Danielle Anderson-Craig has been creating stories, writing poetry, and dancing between realms of whimsy since she was a small child. She is a full-time believer in all things magical and uses her writing to build enchanted fortresses of wonder where fantasy and surreality reign supreme. She graduated from the University of Southern California with an American Studies & Ethnicity/Philosophy degree. In an attempt to spend more time with her goddaughter, she took a job at her play-based preschool as a teacher shortly after college. Realizing her love for teaching, she then rooted herself in the world of the child, returning to school and becoming a highly-skilled Early Childhood Educator, an advocate for young learners, and a resource to families, while also carving out time to conjure up tales for her preschool-aged pals. Her work as an educator of primary school aged children spans over 15 years, with most of her experience in the Montessori environment, teaching in California and throughout southern Thailand. Danielle lives in Berkeley, California, continuing her work as a dreamer, storyteller, traveler, and teacher of young minds.
