My name is Stephanie Sy (how to pronounce Sy) 施佳慧 and I am a Filipino-Chinese-Canadian from Hong Kong. I write picture books that navigate the spaces between my cultures!

A Roof! is my debut picture book with Kokila, illustrated by Daniel Tingcungco, and it is a story that celebrates the Filipino spirit of bayanihan.

A Roof! is out now!

Hello!

Praise

Praise for A Roof! by Stephanie Ellen Sy; illustrated by Daniel Tingcungco:

★ “Sy’s lyrical, methodically paced narrative pairs perfectly with Tingcungco’s lush, digitally rendered, collagelike artwork . . . A bighearted tribute to a tradition rooted in love and community.”
Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“A great addition to any collection, with its representation of Filipino culture and themes of community and determination.”
School Library Journal
