About the author

I live in South Dakota with my husband and my two boys. I also have a dog named Quincy.

I usually do my writing on my laptop at the dining room table. Or I use the computer in my office.

I love writing nonfiction books because I learn all sorts of interesting things about our world.

I hope you read some of my books and learn, too. Maybe you will even get an idea for something you'd like to write!

Reviews

[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This graphic novel biography offers a short, but interesting overview of Charles Darwin's life. It is one of the books in the Graphic Library Inventions and Discovery series of nonfiction graphic novels. The narrative consists mainly of dialogue and the illustrations are very colorful and detailed.

Our girls weren't overly enthusiastic about reading this book, but I found it to be somewhat humorous. I think that it's a good introduction to Mr. Darwin and the study of evolution, even if it's not very comprehensive. While not very useful for a research project, this book would be handy to get to know more about the person in general.

Nice example to show students how to write their own graphic biography.

[Bella Grace Arledge · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a teenager, this book is pretty enjoyable for a brief introduction to Charles Darwin. Loved the comic panels and art style.

[Inhabiting Books]

If your kids like comics/graphic novels, this provides a good introduction to Darwin.
