New STEM information fiction on the way: Newton’s Paws of Motion

I’m thrilled to share my lat­est book deal, a humor­ous STEM pic­ture book inspired by my very own cat (and his “exper­i­ments”). This one teach­es young read­ers about New­ton’s Laws of Motion through the eyes of a curi­ous, sci­ence-lov­ing feline and his less-than-enthu­si­as­tic fam­i­ly. I feel so lucky to get to col­lab­o­rate on it with Justin Kras­ner and Karen Obuhanych (go look up her cat illus­tra­tions right now): I’m still pinch­ing myself! Alas, we’ll all have to wait until May 2027 to see the final product.
