Author Mary Wissinger was born in Wisconsin where she spent most of her childhood singing, reading, and daydreaming. She dove into storytelling through acting, singing, and writing (and writing and writing!). A former teacher, she can now be found at her standing desk in St. Louis, MO, writing stories that inspire curiosity about the world and connection with others. She is the author of the entire Science Wide Open Series: Women in Biology, Women in Chemistry, and Women in Physics. To learn more about Mary, you can check out her website, MaryWissinger.com.

Harriet Kim Anh Rodis began illustrating books at the age of seventeen and has been a part of several publications since. She dedicates her career to her dad, who has supported her and her love of books, and who has encouraged her to pursue illustration. She lives in the Philippines.

“This series is fantastic! It provides a simple, yet elegant way of introducing young children to subatomic particles at an early level, with incredibly straightforward explanations. A head-start for future chemistry students everywhere!"

—Jen Lee, M.S., Senior Adjunct Professor of Chemistry, Atlantic Cape Community College, NJ

"I really liked these books because the pictures make it easier to read and understand the facts to help us learn. I also like how there are a lot of surprising facts in this book like, for example, protons and neutrons are so tiny you can't see them with your eye. I also like that the books connect. Like when you read one book it makes it easier to read the others. For example, if you read the Atoms book it makes it easier to read Protons and Neutrons.

Atoms surprising facts: did you know that you contain galaxies of atoms?

Electrons surprising fact: did you know that electrons could go around the world in 18 seconds?"

—Finley McHugh, age 11
