Stephanie Ward is the author of picture books Arabella and the Magic Pencil and Allen the Alien and is a book reviewer for Armadillo Magazine. She enjoys writing sweet, silly and side-splitting children's books. Her stories and poems have been awarded various prizes around the world, most recently winning the Catherine Fenerty Humour Prize. Too old to blame it on youth, she still hasn't settled down and has visited all seven continents, lived in four countries and become a citizen of three. At present, she can be found in London with her husband and young son.
