Heather Stigall uses her experience with children and her degrees in Child Development, Psychology-based Human Relations, and Social Work to create stories that speak to kids. She is the author of GILBERT AND THE GHOST (Beaming Books, 2025), PAISLEY’S BIG BIRTHDAY (Clavis Publishing, 2023) and more books to follow. When she’s not writing, you can find Heather volunteering for her local SCBWI chapter; hanging out with her husband, five kids, and one pup (hopefully at the beach); reading or watching tv; eating chocolate; baking; or creating all sorts of treasures. You can connect with Heather through her website, HeatherPierceStigall.com.
