About Moonstone Press LLC

Moonstone Press LLC, an independent children's press in Sarasota, Florida, was launched in Fall 2001
by international photojournalist and book producer Stephanie Maze for the purpose of publishing high-quality
photography-based books in English and Spanish for children ages 2-14.

Ms. Maze, project editor for the MOMENTS IN THE WILD series, also produced the acclaimed I WANT TO BE... series
about careers which was published by Harcourt Brace Children's Books. In 1998, this series earned a place on
VOYA's Nonfiction Honor list, and two of the titles, I Want To Be A Veterinarian and I Want To Be An Engineer were
named 'Outstanding Science Trade Books' by the National Science Teachers Association and the Children's Book Council. A third title,
I Want To Be A Chef, received a starred review in the School Library Journal in 1999.

A photographer for over thirty years, Ms. Maze's work has also won a number of awards in both the prestigious
National Press Photographers and the White House Press Photographers Associations, and has appeared in exhibits and
publications worldwide, including National Geographic, GEO, Time, Newsweek, People, The Smithsonian Magazine,
The New York Times and ten Day in the Life projects.
