Meet Claire Mills

Hey there! I have a fun belief that I wanted to share with you. In my opinion, we’re all just big kids at heart, no matter our age. Just like when we were young, I love reading fairy tales because they take us to a magical world filled with wonder and hope. In these stories, we see the prince saving the princess, the brave hero defeating the monster, and good always triumphs over evil. These simple and optimistic values have been with us since childhood, reminding us that if we believe, anything is possible and that we can change the world starting with ourselves and those around us. That’s why I wanted to share these positive thoughts through my own fairy tales. I hope I get the chance to do so!
