Deborah Stevenson is an award-winning, American children's author. Her work is eclectic: non-fiction and fiction, prose and verse, from silly to sentimental. Respect for animals and nature, valuing friendship and family, tolerance, and appreciating diversity are common themes. Stevenson strives to empower children ... to believe in their abilities, to boldly pursue their dreams, and to be creative, imaginative and kind. Extra points if she can make them laugh.
