Meet the Author Behind the Morph!



From hiking, biking, sailing, and canoeing 2000 miles from Buffalo, NY to Key West, FL, to navigating the journey of a bipolar diagnosis, Stephen Nawotniak has lived a life of transformation. Now, he’s helping kids do the same—with the power of story.

Mubu the Morph” Second Edition is more than a children’s book—it’s a message of hope, self-acceptance, and emotional growth. Inspired by Stephen’s own challenges and triumphs, Mubu’s story encourages kids to look within to find who they are and who they’re becoming.

“I wrote Mubu The Morph to help kids understand that their identity lies within them instead of comparing themselves with others. It’s okay to change, grow, and not always have it all figured out.” – Stephen Nawotniak
