You Can Do Anything!

Steve Hattamer started as a high school teacher, is a physician by training, and an accidental author. "You Can Do Anything!" began years ago when the children were very young. While making up stories for the kids at bedtime and telling them that they "could do anything," they said, "Daddy, write it down and put it in a story, and we'll draw the pictures!" Their drawings (all that could be found) have been included. Steve lives on Cape Cod and is working on his second book. For him, this book will be a colossal success if it gives even one child the spark to think that they really "can do anything!"

Stacy Heller Budnick is based out of New York City. She created the art for "You Can do Anything" in watercolor. Stacy freelances as an illustrator while teaching full time as an art teacher in a NYC High School. Her illustration career began when she illustrated her first children's books for HayHouse publishing in 2008 and has since maintained her passion for creating images for trade and educational materials. Working on "You Can do Anything" has been one of her favorite projects so far!
