ABOUT STEPHEN WADE NEBGEN
-
I was married to my beautiful late wife, Jill, for 11 years, together a total of 13. We had two wonderful children: our son, Austin, and our daughter, Lindsay. Jill was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and bravely fought it for six years. While she battled the disease and then ultimately passed, I had to raise our two small children. At bedtime, I read them children’s books. This special time together was both healing and bonding for us.”
“These experiences inspired me to write my own book – a warm, comforting tale of a child with a big heart. The small acts of generosity shown by Theodore and his family (taking in a stranger, giving him food and shelter, Theodore is sharing his plate with the King) emphasize how a simple gesture can have such significant results.
ARTIST STATEMENT
The experience of losing my wife and having to take care of two young children inspired me to write my own book – a warm, comforting tale of a child with a big heart. The small acts of generosity shown by Theodore and his family (taking in a stranger, giving him food and shelter, Theodore is sharing his plate with the King) emphasize how a simple gesture can have such significant results.
In future books, Theodore will continue on his journey of discovery, learning life-changing lessons along the way. Keep checking back for updates!
