ABOUT ALISON PEARCE STEVENS
-
I write lots of fun nonfiction: articles, picture books, and middle grade books. I also write middle grade novels. All of my work is inspired by a love of science and nature.I am a regular contributor to Science News for Students, Highlights, ASK, and other kids’ magazines, and also write for National Geographic Kids Books.My next book, RHINOS IN NEBRASKA, launches in 2021.
ARTIST STATEMENT
As a former scientist, I bring my background into everything I do (because scientists are really just big, curious kids and the natural world is full of incredible things).
