Pleased* to announce my second picture book! MEDUSA'S PET ROCK is slated to launch Fall 2026, with @harpercollins.bsky.social

*Pleasssssssed

Thanks to my agent @allielevick.bsky.social and editor Megan Ilnitzki for loving this story as much as I do ❤️🐍🏺 Can't wait for you all to read it!
#kidlit
BOOK DEAL: Megan Ilnitzki at HarperCollins has acquired, at auction, Medusa's Pet Rock and a second untitled mythology-based picture book by Steph Lau (The Abominable Snow Dancer). When it's Medusa's turn to take the class pet home, she tries to be careful, but inevitably, ZAP. Medusa's teacher won't give up, though, and she's sure that this time, she's found a class pet that even Medusa can enjoy. Publication is planned for fall 2026; Alexandra Levick at Writers House sold world rights. A headshot of a smiling woman with a felt plushie snake curled around her neck. Below is a chubby toddler Medusa, trying to share her juice box with her pet rock.

Absolutely weeping with joy to have mine and Ross’s book MOO HOO as part of the reboot of my favorite childhood show, the one that fosters my love of reading and writing. 😭😭😭 And with @mychal3ts.bsky.social as host?? Pinch me. (But don’t because I don’t wanna wake up.)

I logged in to #scbwi to vote for some Crystal Kite books and was pleasantly surprised to see that A Hat for House made it to round three of voting for the California/Hawai‘i Division! Yay!
To celebrate I am sharing a little abridged gif-

When you’re at your book signing/ story time and your 11 yo comes up to you with a book “that you really need” and the title is: “Stop Being an Overachiever and Relax.” 😑🤣

Anyway… here are some pics from the awesome @quailridgebooks.bsky.social event this past Saturday!

Construction paper looking hearts in purple, pink, and reds, on a light purple bg. A lacy white box says "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue. I can fight Fascists, When I am with You." stephlaubooks.com A pale yellow card with text: Screaming into the Void is Better with You! Two blobby people with pink hearts are holding hands while screaming into a scribbly abyss. There are paper cut out looking A's swirling into the hole. stephlaubooks.com Red heart on goldenrod background. Inside the heart there is a fist holding a pitchfork, such that the pitchfork looks like a cupid's arrow. Text says: You'd Look Sexy... With a Pitchfork stephlaubooks.com
