edit data

Storytelling and poetry have always been my passion. Teaching English for over twenty-five years has taught me the value of stories for all age groups.

This profile is mostly written in English and most of the books are in English, because as a teacher-storyteller, I write in English most of the time. However, I am very proud of working with Društvo ,,Naša djeca" and the city library of my little town Dugo Selo, Croatia, and releasing a wonderful project and book Ono čarobno oko nas (The Magic around us).

Stories with a twist of magic, floating on the edge between reality and fantasy, are a special joy for me to read and write. Here's to good stories - may we read them, write them and live them!

Nostalgia for the future

Listening to some relaxing music, closed off in an improvised study, and the mind wanders to and fro… A familiar Doris Day song comes to mind, Que sera, sera, and although the lyrics reflect what I should be motivating myself to think and do, it is not easy and my voice does not naturally doze off into the tune to sing it out, as it has so many times before…

Anita Kovacevic answered Goodreads's question: If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there? Hm.... I would love to travel to most of them, as a visitor and sightseer, but to always come back. There's no place like home, and home is where my family is.
