If Stella had her way, she would stop sleeping on her sixth birthday. Because sleep is boring. And there are so many better things you could be doing. And Stella is tired of being tired. So she comes up with a plan. People only have to go to bed when it gets dark, and it only gets dark because the sun goes down. If she can keep the sun in the sky, she and her best friend, Roger, can stay up for a hundred years! They enact their magnificent, wonderful, genius plan, offering the sun a cup of coffee, shining a light at it so it will shine back, and jumping on a trampoline to reach the sun and push it higher. But before long, Stella begins to wonder…are there downsides to keeping the sun up forever?

After years of working in newsrooms, campaigns, and philanthropy, she was inspired to write her debut children’s book after reading a New York Times essay titled “Black Kids Don’t Want to Read About Harriet Tubman All the Time.” She’s now the author of the Stella series, which includes Stella Keeps the Sun Up and the forthcoming Stella and Roger on the Move. Her mission is simple but powerful: to create stories where children of color are not defined just by struggle, but by curiosity, adventure, and belonging. She lives in Chicago with her husband and two children—and believes kids deserve books that are both mirrors and windows to their lives.
