William “PopPop” Stevenson, Ed. D.: The Rockstar of Kiddo Lit!
Ladies, gents, and tiny fans with crayons in hand, meet William Stevenson: a former award-winning accountant turned children’s book superstar.
Once elbow-deep in spreadsheets, now he dives into epic time-travel escapades, all inspired by the mischievous glint in his celeb-sidekick grandson. They’ve salsa-danced in Ancient Egypt, jet-packed through Greece, and turned Rome upside down, all before bedtime!
Their hottest release? “Ricky’s Triple-Whammy Dream Trip to Egypt, Greece, & Rome” – a tale that screams Hollywood adaptation. With shades perpetually perched atop his head, and a following that rivals A-listers, William Stevenson is not just telling stories; he’s making history. Catch him at the next red carpet – just follow the trail of glittering picture books and swooning toddler-fans!
