On November 12, 2011, Kellogg was given an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from the University of Findlay in Ohio. All of his original illustrations were donated to the Mazza Museum of International Art from Picture Books at Findlay.

He was born in Norwalk, Connecticut, to Robert E. and Hilma Marie (Johnson) Kellogg. His love of writing and illustrating led to his being accepted at the Rhode Island School of Design. While a student, he won a scholarship to study abroad for a year in Italy.
Steven Kellogg is also a member of the Board of Directors of the National Children's Book and Literacy Alliance a national not-for-profit organization that advocates for literacy, literature, and libraries, where he serves as a vice-president.[2]
