Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Mable Brothers Mullen is the eleventh of fourteen children. As a girl growing up in North Carolina, she remembers when it was bed time and her mother would tuck Mable and her three younger sisters in and tell them, “Lights out, no talking and go to sleep.” Being young girls and being very hot in that cramped bed, they could not sleep. So every one of Mable's sisters would ask her to tell them a story. She was a very gifted storyteller, and after she told one story, her sisters would ask her to tell another. Often, they would hear their mother call upstairs and say, “I said no talking. Y’all better go to sleep.” So Mable would tell her sisters that she would tell them two stories the next night. Mable was in her late forties when she decided to write books. She wanted to write children’s books because it took her back to her childhood days, when she would tell stories to her younger sisters in that One Big Bed.
