Stephanie True Peters píše pre deti, ale jej tvorivý proces je hlboko zakorenený vo fascinácii históriou a objavovaní skrytých súvislostí. Jej diela sa často ponárajú do zdanlivo obyčajných tém, aby odhalili nečakané príbehy, ako napríklad spojenie športu a prezidentstva. Petersová využíva svoje skúsenosti z redakčnej a autorskej práce pre detské knihy na to, aby čitateľom sprostredkovala pútavé a informujúce rozprávanie.
