Who we Are

About Author

Some people collect souvenirs. Edna Abrahams collects moments. A spider’s innocence and curiosity. A question left unanswered just long enough to matter. The quiet realization that the world, when watched closely, begins to tell stories back.
Raised between Ghana and Los Angeles, Edna grew up moving between worlds, learning early how stories shift depending on who is telling them and where they are told. As a teenager, she spent her summers in Yemen. Later, she lived in London. Along the way, she traveled through Australia, Paris, Italy, and Turkey—places that taught her how creativity blossoms when you listen more than you speak.
Edna writes for children because children already know what adults forget: that curiosity is not a distraction, it is a compass. Her stories do not rush. They linger. They notice. They ask small questions that open wide doors.
Tumbo the Curious Spider did not arrive fully formed. It crept in quietly, spun from patience and observation, until it became a reminder that even the smallest voice can connect worlds—and that imagination, when treated kindly, has a way of making everything feel a little more alive.
