As a professional storyteller, Carmen Agra Deedy has charmed thousands of children and adults. This award-winning Cuban-American storyteller is the author of The Library Dragon, Agatha's Feather Bed: Not Just Another Wild Goose Story, The Yellow Star: The Legend of King Christian X of Denmark, and other bestselling books for children. Deedy feels that “the oral tradition is a good place for children…they can get excited about telling a story without having to deal with syntax, spelling or punctuation.”

Viewers learn how Deedy's personal history from her family fleeing Cuba to their new life in Decatur, Georgia shaped her as a storyteller and author.
