Steffy Rae is a writer and lifelong lover of stories that warm the heart and inspire kindness. Drawing from years of experience caring for loved ones and teaching young children, Rae writes with gentle humor and heartfelt purpose, helping families navigate both everyday moments and big life lessons.

Finn and the Golden Words: Please and Thank You was inspired by her own family experiences—and by the belief that small gestures like “please” and “thank you” can create a lasting impact in a child’s world. Through the eyes of a bow-tied poodle named Finn, she brings to life the importance of respect, empathy, and thoughtful words in a way children can understand and enjoy.

When Rae isn’t writing, she enjoys quiet mornings, warm cups of tea, and spending time with her family and pets. She believes this story can help teach children kindness—and she hopes Finn’s lessons will find a place in every reader’s heart.
