Anna Willis

Hi, I’m Anna.

I write stories for curious kids and thoughtful parents — the kind that spark questions, quiet smiles, and maybe even a deeper breath at the end of the day. Courageous Tales for Curious Boys is filled with gentle adventures, emotional honesty, and a very opinionated squirrel who just might remind your child (or you) of someone you know.

I care deeply about giving boys space to feel — not just to act, or win, or “be tough” — but to wonder, reflect, grow, and be kind. Stories are one of the best ways I know to encourage that.

When I’m not writing, you can find me by the sea, where long walks help me untangle thoughts and dream up new ideas. I share my days with my family and more books than shelves, and I'm endlessly fascinated by how children make sense of the world (and often do it better than adults).

If my stories can spark a meaningful conversation between you and your kid — or just make bedtime a little more magical — I’ve done my job.

Thanks for stopping by.
