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
