Francesca MacDonald is a storyteller, creative instigator, and devoted mother of two. She was born in Venice, Italy, a city where imagination is woven into everyday life and wonder hides in plain sight. Inspired by her sons' compassion, curiosity, and creative courage, Francesca writes stories that honor intuition, emotional awareness, and the power of noticing what others might overlook. She believes that big ideas don't belong only to grown-ups, they belong to anyone brave enough to listen to their inner voice. Her life journey has carried her from the winding streets of Venice to transformative experiences in Haiti and to a serendipitous meeting with her husband on a Hollywood stage during a cross-country road trip. Together, they co-founded HitZERØ, a purpose-driven music platform designed to help people access clarity, creativity, and inner balance through sound. Above all, Francesca believes that if an idea finds you, it has a reason. She hopes her stories remind young readers that imagination is not something we grow out of, it is something we grow into. Francesca is a polyglot who moves easily between languages, cultures, and creative worlds. Francesca loves live shows, especially Broadway and Cirque du Soleil, and believes joy is serious business. Sometimes joy looks like a perfectly foamed cappuccino, a bowl filled with five different cereals (just like Frederic likes it), or saying yes to ideas others might dismiss as impossible.
