About

Described as the eternal 5-year-old, author Ruth Talbott always finds joy in the little things. One of those things happens to be a photo of her dad, Steve, grinning from ear-to-ear wearing a fabulous pair of plaid pants. While at home, present-day Steve would always point to 6-year-old Steve and say, “Man, that guy is ROCKIN’ those pants! Just LOOK at that enthusiasm!” Coupled with her dad’s tendency to be a little hard on things, she decided to turn her dad’s struggle with pants into an adventure filled with determination, enthusiasm, and plaid. With prompting from her wonderful sister and mother, the story of Steve and His Search for the Perfect Pair of Pants was born.

When she’s not writing about the heroics behind securing the perfect pair of pants, Ruth likes to travel and experience the world by hiking and rock climbing. She loves hanging out with her family and friends and tends to make friends with kids wherever she goes. It must be the height – she’s barely 5’0”!
