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 explore and celebrate the vibrant, in-between spaces of my multicultural identity.

You Can’t Tame a Tiger, illustrated by New York Times Bestselling Illustrator Julien Chung and published by Owlkids, is a spirited read-aloud that explores identity, self-acceptance, and respect for individuality. It provides a wonderful springboard for discussions on social-emotional learning (SEL), the danger of stereotypes, and the importance of being unapologetically YOU.
