Anna Marie and the popcorn tree

TOLEDO, Ohio (WUPW) - Eleven-year-old Michelle Cook is proving you can do anything, and it doesn't matter how old you are.

Michelle wrote a book called "Anna Marie and the Popcorn Tree," a story about a little girl who wishes upon a shooting star for a tree that grows popcorn.

But she didn't just write it. Michelle worked through the whole process of getting it published and marketed worldwide.

She did have some challenges.

"Probably, like I said, the computer part," she said. "Deciding what the name was and like editing it to make sure we had everything right, and proofreading it all those times."

Michelle wrote the book all by herself. It was illustrated by her uncle, FOX Toledo News graphic designer Paul Krasa.
