Hi, I'm Antoinette Pellegrini
I help children and adults discover how mindset, imagination and stories shape who we become.
What I Offer
I am an Author, Educator, and Speaker, and the Founder of We Inspire Now Books, my self-publishing platform.
Through my adult and children’s books, workshops and author visits, I help children and adults discover how mindset, imagination and stories can shape their lives, connect them with others, and inspire positive change.
How you think affects your health, and well-being and is what creates your future self and circumstances. I write about this in my first book, Your Thoughts Matter.
My books, guides, and workshops aim to inspire and uplift people and help readers understand how to create the life they want to live.
For a moment, close your eyes and imagine how you would love your life to be. You are the creator of your life and it all starts with your thoughts.

My Books
All of my books, whether for children or adults, explore one or more of the themes of imagination, connection, identity, the power of thought and storytelling as a means of connecting with others and creating meaning in our lives.
Imagine And Achieve Your Dreams
Imagination
Imagination is your creative power. Your body reacts the same to a real event or something you vividly imagine. Imagination is your personal magic power. You can do anything in your imagination. It is the key to achieving your goals and making your dreams come true.
I write about this in my book, Your Thoughts Matter and also explore this theme in my children’s illustrated book, Imagine.

Author Visits, Storytelling and Creative Workshops
Inspiring Young Minds Through Stories, Imagination and Connection
Bring the magic of storytelling to your kindergarten, preschool, or school with an engaging author visit designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and meaningful discussion.
As the author of Imagine, Sandcastles: A Story About Our Connected World, and Your Thoughts Matter, I create interactive presentations that encourage children to explore their imagination, celebrate their uniqueness, and discover the connections they share with others.
Each session is tailored to suit the age and needs of your students and can include storytelling, discussion, creative activities, and opportunities for children to ask questions about books, writing, and the power of their own ideas.
Why Schools and Kindergartens Invite Me
My presentations combine storytelling, education, and personal development themes to create experiences that are engaging, thought-provoking, and memorable. Children leave feeling inspired to read, create, think differently, and share their own unique voice.

Storytelling to Inspire, Heal and Connect
Tell Your Story
Humans have told stories to each other from the very beginning. Stories are a way to connect with each other, pass on knowledge and inspire. What I have found from sharing my personal story and helping others share theirs is how cathartic and healing it can be to write your own story, and how inspirational it can be to others who read it.
Time and again, the amazing and inspirational authors who shared their stories of surviving and overcoming the difficulties and challenges of their lives in the four books in my We Inspire Now Anthology Series, told me how writing had changed their perspective on some of the events in their lives, how they were able to forgive those who had hurt them, and how healing the process of writing their story had been. The feedback from the readers was just as significant. One woman told me she had cried for hours after reading “Live Your Truth”, the first book in the Anthology series, because some of the stories were so close to her own experience that reading had become a cathartic and healing experience for her. Others told me how inspired they were by reading the stories about how the authors had overcome significant challenges in their lives.
I also helped 10 authors self-publish their books, each telling their own story. This inspired me to create the Legacy Journal: My Story, a journal with 65 thoughtful questions to help people write the story of their lives. A book that may help them heal and will connect them to future generations of their family, becoming a legacy that I am sure will be treasured.
