Sophie Labelle has created a wonderful illustrated world where Stephie lives.
If I was 10 years old now, Stephie is the friend I would want to play with. Clever and well-spoken and well, a girl. I always played with the smart girls in my neighbourhood, at least until my folks started thinking it meant I was homosexual and they wanted to ‘fix that’. Strange world in 1960..
Anyway, we live in 2015 and so does Stephie, thank goodness!
