BIOGRAPHY
Deanna Bussadori grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, living an active outdoor life under the African sun. As the youngest of three siblings, she was immersed in both Greek and South African traditions, family gatherings, and delicious foods. Her love for baking led her to complete a chocolatier’s course, one of many creative pursuits.

Her creativity later expanded into writing in verse, inspired by observing her children and shaping those experiences into book themes. This grew into a ten-book series, beginning with Super Big Brother: Finding Your Hero. She has since published Super Big Brother: The Big Brave School Day and Super Big Brother: New Baby Surprise for Super Big Sister. Her work has earned multiple awards, including the 2023 AllAuthor Children’s Cover of the Month. Her newest release, Anxious Amy: Calming the Worries Within (September 2025), explores the sensitive topic of anxiety in young adults.

Deanna’s love of exploring new places has taken her to live in England, Canada, and now the USA. Married to an Italian, she enjoys a rich cultural mix within her family. Her two children, Giuliano (Super Sam) and Olivia (Lulu the Little), were born in England.

Now living in the USA, she continues to pursue her passion for writing children’s books.
