The Author
“Stories begin in quiet moments… long before they are written.”
STAR AMADEO is the author of the animal-guided series Willow’s Magical Life with Animals. Her gentle, magical stories follow a young girl named Willow as animals guide her through journeys that teach courage, listening, and self-trust. Through these adventures, readers are reminded to trust their own voice and live with authenticity.
Her storytelling style often echoes the quiet, reflective rhythm of ancient Chinese journey tales, where nature, animals, and landscape reveal wisdom. Through these stories, animals help children remember that they already carry the courage and wisdom they need.
Inspired by her deep connection with animals and the natural world, Star writes stories for sensitive readers of all ages that celebrate listening, courage, and emotional wisdom.
In her 2025 autobiography, When the Panther Screamed, Star traces the unexpected life events that led to her work as a Reiki Master and animal telepathic communicator.
A deeply personal story of awakening, courage, and learning to listen.
Since becoming a Reiki Master in 1999, Star has shared her teachings with students worldwide through her accredited online schools. Her work as a creativity coach also reflects her belief that true strength comes from authenticity and following one's own path rather than imitation.
Although she has travelled widely, Star's most cherished experiences come from time spent in the jungles of Nepal and the rainforests of Borneo—places that continue to shape her deep connection to nature and quiet wisdom.
Star resides in Canada.
