About the Book
Mrs. Smafpaf knows how to fix a sick garden, but what can she do for a broken heart? Find out, in this modern-day fairy tale full of magic, healing, and muffins.
My name is Emaan Ali and I live in Toronto. I am eleven years old. I was inspired to write this story because of a doodle I had made that looked like a woman. I gave her the name Mrs. Smafpaf, and she became the inspiration for the main character of my book. In my doodle, I gave her a pink face and a big smile. For the locket in my story, I was inspired by a necklace that I made that also had a heart-shaped locket. When I am not writing, I can be found watercolour painting, reading fantasy books, or baking muffins. I hope to see more people writing in the future.
