Steve Breen grew up in Orange County, California, as the oldest of seven siblings, and he now has a bunch of kids of his own. So Steve knows siblings! He is fascinated by kids and the things they do, the stuff they say, and the clubs they create. He enjoys working in his home studio in San Diego County, even when the house gets noisy and his art supplies mysteriously go missing.

Steve has won two Pulitzer Prizes (1998, 2009) for his editorial cartoon work and several broadcasting Emmys for his video work. He now draws for inewsource.org. He is also the author-illustrator of several children’s books, including Stick, Violet the Pilot, and Woodpecker Wants a Waffle.
