Book excerpt: In this third volume of the series, Still More Stories of Stephanie and Friends, Stephanie and her friends continue to experience the normal life events that sometimes generate anxiety and uncertainty among young children - events such as a blackout throughout town, her mother beginning a job outside the house, and even her father falling ill. With the support of family and friends, Stephanie learns to cope with such events and to overcome the normal anxiety of childhood. Join Stephanie and her friends in this third book of this enlightening children's series. As a business writer for more than 35 years, Richard J. Trilling has published books and articles and has written successful business proposals. He did not start writing for children until his grandchildren were born. Until that time, he was the family storyteller. In his Stories of Stephanie and Friends series, many of the stories have been adapted from his own children's experiences. Trilling taught at the university level and is now active in the academic program of his retirement community. Originally from Manhattan, he has lived in Durham, North Carolina, for 40 years.
