About the Author
Clement Clarke Moore was born in New York City in 1779 and died in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1863. He was a scholar and writer of various topics, but is best known for his poem “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” which was first published anonymously in 1823 as “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” It was finally attributed to Moore in 1844 as a poem he wrote for his children.
Steph Lew is a artist from San Francisco. She graduated from San Jose State University with a BFA in Animation/Illustration and has done work ranging from concept to production for Nickelodeon, EA, and Zynga. She is currently a freelance illustrator. When she's not drawing, she's usually taking pictures of her shih tzu, Mango.
