Marcella Cowan was raised in a fantastic world where magic was like a normal thing. Her childhood was marked by talking cats, baking witches, and listening woods and these became her story vision. That very creativity is now found in Cobwebs’ Birthday Gift, a soft story of love, courage, and endurance even when you are the smallest one in the room.

As a children’s author, Marcella believes stories should feel “like a warm lamp in a dark room.” She wrote Cobwebs’ Birthday Gift to comfort young readers and the grown ups who share books with them. Her message stays simple and kind: every act of kindness matters, especially when it is wrapped in friendship, curiosity, and a brave little heart.
