"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 ended his Stevie Tenderheart comic strip after five (5) years in publication to write more. [Those panels were just too confining.]

He currently has 18 Stevie Tenderheart Books in Print, ebooks & Audiobooks with 600+ Goodreads & Amazon Ratings/Reviews.

He loves writing children's books. It's his passion. He especially enjoys pulling kids' legs with his bedtime stories. (Kids love it.)

Stevie Bedtime Storybooks quiet the noises of the day helping kids feel silly, loved (safe, cozy & dozy) at bedtime.

He hopes everyone builds a Stevie Tenderheart Home Library.

Stevie Tenderheart picture books & light, full-color, illustrated novellas are filled with positive messaging, warmth, joy & gladness.

Stevie books help parents put their children to bed on time, every time! 😴

Just be mindful when you say, "It's Stevie time." They will likely hear, "It's TV time." And that's on you. 😉
