About

James Solheim's book Eat Your Woolly Mammoths is a hilarious nonfiction exploration of amazing foods from prehistoric days to the future.  Published by HarperCollins, it covers everything from freshly hunted mammoths to today's scientists tasting mammoth meat found frozen in the tundra to the foods of space travelers in the future. Grandmas Are Greater Than Great (also from Greenwillow/HarperCollins) explores history’s stories through twelve generations of grandmotherly love.  Kids learn about how tiny caring gestures grow and spread exponentially throughout time.     His first published book, It’s Disgusting—and We Ate It! from Simon & Schuster, is still in print after more than twenty years.  Featured by PBS and The Wall Street Journal as a best book for getting boys to read, it was a selection of Scholastic Book Club, Scholastic Book Fair, and the Junior Library Guild.              James speaks at schools, conferences, and libraries across the nation.  In his inspirational Think Big! presentations, classes play with a huge model of the sun and create giant artworks together to help them aspire to greater futures.             To set up presentations, readings, interviews, and other events (available online or in person), write to solheimbooks@gmail.com or call (402) 393-6108.            Author website: jamessolheim.com
