Featured Interview With Michelle Parmigiani
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
My name is Michelle Parmigiani and I’m the premier author of New Jersey-based children’s book publisher, Fifth & Zilai. I’ve lived in northern New Jersey all my life and while I’ve always had big city dreams, I choose to chase them from the small town where I grew up and continue to reside. I’ve always loved to write and have written in many forms for varying outlets but I must say, writing children’s books is among my favorite tasks to date. Aside from writing, I love fashion, I love to bake and I love my English bulldog puppy, Prada Penelope.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
For as long as I can remember, I have always been an admirer of the written word. Reading and writing allow us to feel connected, to feel heard and to feel like we have a voice. Writing has long been my creative outlet of choice and I’ve decided to put pen to paper to empower others.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Like so many others in this world, I have been judged by my appearance and often underestimated. Lucky for me, I always had the confidence to overcome other’s doubts but that isn’t the case for many. The stories I tell show girls and boys alike that they are more capable, more powerful, more intelligent and more incredible than they know. They explore the values of individuality and inclusivity and what it means to be yourself. The greatest lesson I share is the power we each behold by simply being ourselves.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is a children’s book called “Carrie’s Cupcake Success.” Carrie’s story is truly inspirational and empowering for young girls in particular. Carrie overcomes self doubt by exploring one of her passions which happens to be baking. While making cupcakes with her mom, Carrie realizes that she is relying on the math skills she didn’t know she had. Regardless of what her classmates may have told her, Carrie puts her math skills to the test and comes up with a cupcake success. At the end of Carrie’s story, I’ve created an extra special surprise that will show readers they can be as successful as Carrie when it comes to both math and baking!
