Sharon Fialco

I, Sharon Fialco, am the author of the Starabella Series. I collaborated with my daughters to produce audio books for children that advocate self acceptance, acceptance of others, diversity, reaching for one's dreams and peaceful classroom social conflict resolution. The multiple award winning series, including a Nautilus award for books that "change the world to make it better," is based on and enhanced by a musical score of 22 songs and instrumentals by my musically gifted daughter Tara, pianist and composer who deals with autism. The stories are narrated and songs sung by my daughter Dana, a talented singer. In the Bright New World of the stories, children respect and have empathy for one another rather than fear differences. They learn to make rules that serve the needs of the whole. I hope when you check us out, your "eyes will shine like stars" - just like Starabella's, the heroine of the stories. www.starabella.com
