Her birthday was yesterday.
She was born in Galesburg, Illinois and now lives in San Marino, California and manages a winery in Paso Robles.
From 1948 to 1952, she was a radio and TV producer.
"The Best Horse" was made into a video in 1979. "A contest of wills
between a mother and daughter over the girl's desire to enter a rodeo
race teaches important lessons about forcing people and animals into
undesired roles."

Excerpt, from 2002:
"Van Steenwyk's newest book, "One Fine Day," is forthcoming from
Eerdman's. Her other books include two set during World War II --
"Maggie in the Morning," about a girl spending the summer of 1941 in
Oquawka, Illinois, and "A Traitor Among Us," about a boy living in
Nazi-occupied Holland in 1944. "When Abraham Talked to Trees" is about
Abraham Lincoln's love for books as a boy; and "My Name is York," is
about the Lewis and Clark expedition, told from the point of view of
Clark's young slave. "

(about the 1997 movie "Kayla")
"Sam, the 12 year old son of a famous missing polar explorer, has despaired. His mother has married again and moved with him and her new husband to the wasteland of Canada. He doesn't like him, the place, and has problems finding new friends. One day he meets a wild dog which one looks like the leader of his father's sled dogs. With him and the two family dogs he plans to compete in this year's sled dog race. He is getting closer to the neighbour's daughter who is able to build the sled. But her father wants to kill all wild dogs..."
