Mirabel Power (otherwise known as “The Super Awesome Dino Nerd” or just Mira) lives in Kissimmee, Florida. Clearly she loves all things dinosaur. Her favorite is Pachycephalosaurus. She also co-hosts the podcast Book Power for Kids with her siblings and loves to read books, preferably with the family cat Mochi and her stuffed animal dog Blosom (yes, it’s spelled that way). She loves visiting Thailand and St. Louis to see both sides of her family and is going to be a paleontologist when she grows up. She also knows all the words to most of the songs by Lin Manuel-Miranda!
