Another book by Danna Staaf! I have asked her a bunch of questions about squid eggs and baby squid, and she had amazing insights to share. I can’t wait to find out what she has to share about other babies!

My next science book for adults is about...babies!
I'm completely heart-eyed over this cover 😍😍😍 @lazaroillustrat knocked it out of the park--nay, into the stratosphere.
Coming May 2023, available for pre-order now!

What better way to celebrate #OCTOpusmonth than with a starred review of THE LADY AND THE OCTOPUS?! 👩🔬🐙
"[T]his author is as resourceful and ingenious in relating the story of her subject as Jeanne Villepreux-Power was in her scholarly endeavors." 🤩🥳

I got to chat with @KakaniKatija while writing my book about using a submersible to find a giant squid. She was so helpful and kind and I’m so excited for her newest collaborative adventure! Check it out!

Anyone out there have a resource for finding out the correct way to pronounce scientific names? My next book has a whole bunch of amazing fungi and I want their scientific names to be approachable for young readers. #AdventuresInNonfictionWriting
