Dedicated to creating environments where children explore how things work through movement and sound.
Concepts creator Carol Stevens earned a BFA in Illustration and worked as both a graphic designer and freelance illustrator while raising five children. After illustrating ten books for the WantsToBe series, she became excited about developing them into animated eBooks. She spent the next year tackling the daunting process—creating and editing sound effects, programming buttons that launch animations, and learning the technical skills required to bring her illustrations to life. The experience proved both challenging and rewarding.
With these newly acquired skills, Stevens began creating immersive environments for children to explore, and the possibilities seemed endless. It has been a wonderful journey to bring her ideas to life, and she hopes children will enjoy discovering the interactive elements on each page as much as she has enjoyed bringing them to fruition.
