Baby and Me

Angela Casabene lives on Bunurong Country in a beachside suburb in Melbourne. When she’s not sitting in her Storytelling Chair reading books to young humans, she can be found in her favourite cafe, claiming the ‘Community Bookshelf’ was her idea, and her idea alone. Angela’s world has always been filled with stories and books; she still has the pink and cream exercise book her dad taught her to write in when she was four years old. Now, Angela mostly writes on her laptop at the caf, where she creates stories for kids of all ages.
