About Dorothy
Author Dorothy Hinshaw Patent decided to use her knowledge and training as a Zoology Ph.D. graduate at U.C. Berkeley to write nonfiction science and nature books for young readers. Over the years she has written 140 books at age levels from new reader to adult and received many awards including the Eva Gordon Award from the American Nature Study Society; and the Washington Post/Children¹s Book Guild Nonfiction Award.
Her books appear on many “best books” lists including the Bank Street Best Children’s Books of the year; and the NAST-CBC Outstanding Science Trades Books for Students K-12.
Dorothy has taught writing classes in the University of Montana MOLLI program, the Yellowstone NP summer education program, and at a variety of retreats. Dorothy and her husband Greg lived in Missoula for 50 years, raising their sons David and Jason. They sold their home in 2021 and moved to Kaua’I, but Dorothy considers herself a Montanan at heart.
