About Stella

Hi, I’m Stella Mbatt

AUTHOR  ·  SONGWRITER  ·  TEACHER  ·  MENTOR

I write children’s books and make music that inspires faith, hope and joy in everyday life. My heart is to encourage children and families with stories, songs and videos that remind them they are loved, they matter, and God is with them.

My story

How I got here

  • Then

    As a child, I loved getting lost in books and creating stories of my own. Long before any of this was work, it was the thing I did for the pleasure of it.

  • Now

    That same love shapes everything I write, sing and create — from picture books that help children fall in love with reading, to songs that encourage people through every season of life. Stories and songs have always been my favourite way to point people towards hope, joy, and the God who never leaves us.

  • And in between

    When I am not creating, you will usually find me with my family, enjoying a quiet cup of tea, or dreaming up the next story waiting to be told.

Behind the scenes

Every book begins the same way

Every book, song and video begins with an idea, a prayer and a lot of heart.

I write the stories. I write the music. I record, I edit, and I do all of it with one goal in mind — to spread light, encourage faith, and remind people that they are never alone.

With love,Stella
