My name is Maggie Stern and I am a children's book author. I now live in Concord, Massachusetts with my husband and two of our four sons. I have been writing stories most of my life, starting when my third grade teacher was Peggy Parish, author of the Amelia Bedelia series.

Lately I've been telling stories by creating sock sculptures. My first sock figure began with a single sock and two black buttons. The collection has evolved into figures ranging in size from one inch to five feet. I represent people not as they really look but as I see them—each one appears to me as a vision. My work is constantly evolving. Recently, materials such as papier-mache, wire, thread and shade pulls have changed the nature of my work. Click here to see what I've been up to.
