I write children's books about science and am a huge sci-fi fan myself. I have a PhD in biochemistry, a BS in chemistry, four kids, six chickens, and too many plants.
I hope my books make science more real to children, offering them excitement, context, and an outlet to begin to investigate and participate in the science all around them. Reading and learning fill my heart with joy and I love to share that wondrous feeling.
Super cute, and a really good basic introduction to what DNA is and how it's packaged within our cells! Very approachable (not as technical as some of Chris Ferrie's ABCs books though to be fair. those are intended to grow with your child's understanding). Shades of Press Here with some of the 'tap on the gene!' bits as we find the myosin gene to build a protein.
