I'm an artist and science enthusiast who believes that today's children will change the world. I've always enjoyed science, art and making books, ever since I was a little lad. From Berkeley High to Brown University and beyond, I've made a bunch of books on a variety of subjects. Lately I've been focused on making books about science for children and fun-loving adults.
