Author J. Steven Lee

Steven James Lee is a published author in the field of investing and a lifelong believer in the power of learning through love and laughter. A devoted father and grandfather, Steven created the ILA and NAT Learning Books™ series to help children and parents explore life’s biggest questions together in simple, joyful ways.

Drawing on his years of education and family experience, Steven blends gentle humor, colorful storytelling, and meaningful life lessons to inspire connection between generations. Each ILA and NAT Learning Book™ — including And What Really Is a Dad?, And What Really Is a Mom?, And Who Is in Mommy’s Tummy?, and And Can I Have My Own Puppy? — teaches curiosity, kindness, and appreciation for the everyday moments that make families special.

Steven believes young minds learn best in small doses and that reading should always be an act of discovery and delight. His mission is simple:

To bring families closer through stories that teach, comfort, and celebrate the joy of growing up.

When he’s not writing, Steven enjoys time with his children and grandchildren, sharing words, laughter, and life lessons that continue to inspire his work.
