About Anello Books
Anello Books for Children was created from a lifelong love of children, education, storytelling, and the imagination that connects them.
Founded by longtime music educator and author John D. Anello III, Anello Books creates stories that encourage children to notice the world around them, use their imaginations, and discover how an ordinary moment can become something extraordinary.
Our stories are designed to be enjoyed together - by children, parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers. Through memorable characters, engaging language, beautiful illustrations, and a touch of wonder, Anello Books hopes to create the kinds of books children ask to hear again and again.
Sergio's Window Tales is the first book from Anello Books and introduces Sergio, a curious gray-and-white cat whose view from the window becomes the inspiration for imaginative adventures with his toy friends.
As Anello Books grows, its mission will remain simple: to create meaningful, imaginative stories that bring children and the people who care for them together through reading.
Stories inspired by the wonder just outside your window.
FEATURED FIRST BOOK
Sergio's Window Tales
Written by: John D. Anello III
Illustrated by: Amy Casazza
On a snowy winter day, Sergio watches the animals outside his window and wonders what adventures they might be having.
With a little imagination - and the help of his favorite toy friends - Sergio turns the world outside his window into stories all his own.
Sergio's Window Tales is a warm and playful celebration of imagination, storytelling, and the wonder children can discover in the everyday world around them.
