Inspiring Young Authors: Amelie Anastasia Kurshuk
Stuff We Love
April 6, 2024
Ten-year old Amelie Anastasia Kurshuk has already done what many adults dream of: published a book. (Or two!) Fox Tales, the story of a pair of young foxes, came out when Amelie was in second grade; the sequel, Fox Tales 2, released in February 2024. But she didn’t stop there. Amelie donates 10 percent of the profits from her first book to her school, and with Fox Tales 2, she’s decided to make an even bigger difference. “Amelie came up with the vision to use the proceeds from her book and fundraising to create a wildlife preserve in northern Michigan to provide a safe and happy life for animals like the ones in her books,” says the young author’s mom, Shafer Stedron. Amelie’s third book, Wolf Tales, will be out this summer. Find her books at McLean and Eakin, Horizon Books, Coveyou Scenic Farms, and amelieanastasia.com.
