About the Book:
In this fourth and final book in the beloved Stella picture book series, Stella and Roger reflect on their favorite things about living in Chicago and try to devise a plan to stop an impending out-of-state move.
Stella and Roger face their scariest challenge yet when Stella's parents announce they're moving--and not just out of Chicago, but to a whole new state! Stella doesn't want to move away from her favorite park or any of the other things she loves about the only home she's ever known. Stella and Roger begin a campaign to convince Stella's parents that leaving Chicago is a big mistake. But is this change really as scary as they think?
About the Author
Clothilde Ewing is a former journalist, political communicator, and Oprah Show producer who now writes picture books centering joyful, imaginative Black children. After years of working in newsrooms, campaigns, and philanthropy, she was inspired to write her debut children’s book after reading a New York Times essay titled “Black Kids Don’t Want to Read About Harriet Tubman All the Time.”
She’s now the author of the Stella series, which includes Stella Keeps the Sun Up and the forthcoming Stella and Roger on the Move. Her mission is simple but powerful: to create stories where children of color are not defined just by struggle, but by curiosity, adventure, and belonging.
She lives in Chicago with her husband and two children—and believes kids deserve books that are both mirrors and windows to their lives.
