Stephanie Ruble is a children's book author/illustrator and artist who loves creating books and comics for young children as well as making art from crafts to paintings. She grew up in the Midwest, where the winters were cold and snowy, the summers were hot and mosquito-y, and there were lots of cows. Now she lives on the East Coast, where the seasons still change, but there are a lot more sea gulls. She is the illustrator of the picture book EWE AND AYE, written by Candace Ryan.

Win a signed copy of Big Dreams, Small Fish by Paula Cohen (Levine Querido) upon release in March 2022 and a signed art print from the book (sent now!).

Big Dreams, Small Fish is the story of Shirley, a little girl in the 1930's whose family lives above their shop in an immigrant neighborhood. Her family tells her "we didn't come to this country for you to work" but Shirley has big dreams for their store. She plans to make it prettier, more modern, and more profitable. Maybe she will even help sell Mama's slow selling gefilte fish and introduce a new flavor into the neighborhood!

Items will ship separately. Print will ship immediately. Book will ship upon release in March, 2022.
