Michael and Mirabelle began their lives together on Christmas 2006 and an instant love affair blossomed. Michael’s artistic background in photography and collage and his love of reading allowed him to invent their world together and inspired him to create the Adventures of Mirabelle. Mirabelle is now the star of a series of children’s books published by Workman Publishing . I never realized that when Mirabelle came into my life she would become the direction of my life. To me Mirabelle is a symbol of believing in yourself and following your dreams.
