Steve William Laible

"I shall be in transports of delight once parents, but especially children--those with bright eyes, happy hearts & toothless grins--discover Stevie Tenderheart books." ~ Steve William Laible American Children's Author Steve is an award winning children's author with a 5-year comic strip background. He loves writing children's books. It's his passion. He especially loves auditioning every word before they go on the page. He really enjoys a little leg-pulling when the story presents an opportunity. (Kids love it.) Bedtime is such a tender time. Stevie storybooks quiet the noises of the day, helping kids feel silly, loved (safe, cozy & dozy) at bedtime. 😴 Stevie books also help parents put their children to bed on time, every time.
