Anna Sarfatti (born 1950) is an Italian writer of children's books.
Sarfatti was born in Florence. She has taught in nursery and primary school for many years. Some of her books have been written in order to help children become conscious of their rights and duties as citizens. The one which has become the most popular in schools is La Costituzione raccontata ai bambini.
Also Fulmine un cane coraggioso, a tale of a dog and his owner during the Resistance in Italy, and L'albero della memoria, the story of a Jewish child and his family during the Fascist regime in Italy (1938–1945), have found a large audience among teachers and school children. Both were written with the historian Michele Sarfatti. [1] [ clarification needed ]
Anna Sarfatti has been in contact with the "Anna Meyer" Children's Hospital in Florence, collaborating in their project to make children feel happier in hospital and not being frightened of their health problems (see the book Guai a chi mi chiama passerotto! I diritti dei bambini in ospedale).
Two short stories for adults have been published in Decameron 2013, published by Felici 2013.
Anna Sarfatti has also concentrated her work on Theodor Seuss Geisel, known as Dr. Seuss, translating into Italian 10 of his books, published by Giunti Editore:
