Today on The Not Old Better Show, we meet the brilliant Milana Anderson, a multiple gold medal–winning author whose 177 Animal Fairy Tales are anything but ordinary.

These stories are emotional, funny, surprising—and they don’t just entertain kids… they speak to the grown-ups reading along, too.

Milana grew up in Siberia and now creates unforgettable stories that mix animals, adventure, and a deep understanding of what it means to grow through struggle. Her tales are infused with resilience, love, and imagination. Think storytelling as therapy—with a dash of porcupine humor and rhino ambition.

She’s also expanding her creative universe with a new animated film, a children’s game, and more books on the way. And yes, we’ll talk about her Book X—a collection of love stories that just might make you tear up.

This isn’t just story time. It’s a reminder that the lessons we pass down—the ones wrapped in laughter, character, and heart—can change lives.

I’m Paul Vogelzang, and you’re listening to The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living series. Let’s get into it.
