Tanya Lee Stone

Tanya Lee Stone è un'autrice pluripremiata nota per i suoi diversi contributi alla letteratura per bambini e giovani adulti. Le sue opere spaziano tra più generi, tra cui la saggistica ("Almost Astronauts: 13 Women Who Dared to Dream"), i libri illustrati ("Elizabeth Leads the Way") e la narrativa per giovani adulti ("A Bad Boy Can Be Good for a Girl"). Stone ha ricevuto numerosi riconoscimenti, come il Sibert Medal dell'ALA, il Golden Kite Award dello SCBWI e un Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor, consolidando la sua reputazione come voce di spicco nella letteratura giovanile.

Stone ha conseguito una laurea in inglese presso l'Oberlin College e ha studiato canto al Conservatorio di Oberlin prima di intraprendere una carriera nell'editoria. Dopo aver lavorato come editor per oltre un decennio e aver ottenuto un master in Scienze dell'Educazione, è passata alla scrittura a tempo pieno. Le sue opere di saggistica spesso mettono in luce figure storiche e questioni sociali trascurate, come dimostrano titoli come "Courage Has No Color", che ha vinto il NAACP Image Award. Il suo romanzo per giovani adulti "A Bad Boy Can Be Good for a Girl" ha ottenuto riconoscimento per i suoi temi audaci, finendo nella lista dei Top 10 Banned Books mentre riceveva elogi da organizzazioni come l'ALA e l'IRA.

Attualmente docente al Champlain College, dove insegna Scrittura per l'Infanzia, Stone continua a pubblicare opere acclamate. I suoi libri illustrati, tra cui "Who Says Women Can't Be Doctors?" e "The House That Jane Built", celebrano donne pionieristiche e hanno ricevuto recensioni stellari e premi statali. Con oltre 100 libri pubblicati, Stone rimane una figura influente nella letteratura per bambini e giovani adulti.
