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.
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).
