About the author

I wrote my first book when I was 8 years old. I glued photos of my cats in a blank book and wrote about them, too. Now I am an internationally-published children's author commended by the Library of Congress for my work encouraging children to read.
I write in a room between a deli and an art gallery on a small town street. I can see families walking by, and I can hear children laughing and playing. It helps me to remember what exactly I'm doing this for - creating books for families all over the world to use together, and helping children to love words.

[Phil Nicolle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic book for teachings science to junior primary, lends itself to descriptive writing and is great for discussing external features and habitat. Also has a two page spread perfect for an example of how to/what to include in the report writing genre.
