Welcome to Nancy Stewart's Website

Welcome to my website and thanks for visiting. I developed an appreciation of stories for young people as a university professor specializing in children's and young adult literature. My travels throughout the world and my deep love of nature inspired me to write One Pelican at a Time, Sea Turtle Summer, and most recently, Katrina and Winter: Partners in Courage. Look for my third book in the popular Bella and Britt series, Bella Saves the Beach, later this year. I hope you enjoy my site and blog! |
