Sarah Hines Stephens (Oakland, CA), one of three creative sisters, hails from generations of do-it-yourselfers: quilters, artists, writers, and gardeners. When Sarah is not facilitating semiexplosive science experiments and kid-friendly crafts, she writes parenting and children's books. She has written more than 70 books, including activity guides for Gymboree Play & Music. She lives with her husband and two children in a home filled with glitter, fabric scraps, glue, and power tools.
