A storyteller with a suitcase full of dreams.
Noni Freebird writes children's books that turn curiosity into courage and bedtime into adventure.
"To my Liora — thank you for being the inspiration behind this book."
Noni Freebird is a children's author, traveller, storyteller, and mother who spends her days turning real adventures into magical stories for young readers.
Having travelled to each of the places featured in her books, she brings every destination to life through first-hand experiences, weaving together the sights, sounds, cultures, and moments that inspired her along the way. Her stories are grounded in real journeys and reimagined through the wonder and curiosity of a child's eyes.
She believes every child carries a little explorer inside, and that the right book can hand them a compass.
