Stephanie True Peters píše pro děti, ale její tvůrčí proces je hluboce zakořeněn ve fascinaci historií a objevování skrytých souvislostí. Její práce se často noří do zdánlivě obyčejných témat, aby odhalila nečekané příběhy, jako je spojení sportu a prezidentství. Petersová využívá své zkušenosti z editace a psaní dětských knih k tomu, aby čtenářům zprostředkovala poutavé a informativní vyprávění.
