About Me

Hello, I’m Chris E. Steele - Author & Illustrator

I find joy in writing children’s faith stories and creating spiritual visual art. I hope my writing and artwork brings you and your family closer to God.

I am a practicing Catholic living in Wisconsin. I spent a lifetime working with and advocating for children. My children's stories artfully blend faith, Christian values, and humor. This ministry hopes to ignite children's passion for reading and encourage them to connect with scripture and prayer, fostering a life of discipleship.
