Allo'

I'm Steph. I was born in France but now live in London. My Mum has always been a primary school teacher, so besides growing up with endless volumes of dry pasta and glue, I grew up with endless volumes of children’s books. This passion stayed with me throughout my life.

I’ve been lucky enough to Art direct and illustrate several picture books for Sky Pony Press in New York, Pug House Books in Toronto, and Serious Comedy in London. My Mum would tell you that her books fired my imagination and gave me my creative career.

In fact, it’s been nothing but a side effect of a clever ploy to keep me quiet as a child. A ploy that worked, and one that still keeps me quiet to this day… sometimes.

I’m immensely grateful for the Arts Council to have offered me a grant to support my hand washing story book project. The Handy Hand Washing Handbook has now been clinically approved by the NHS and will soon be helping children, chase those nasty germs away.
