Tanya Lee Stone writes a little bit of everything — science, history, biography, poetry, and fiction — for kids and teens. She’s written middle grades biographies of pioneering women in the NASA space program, Amelia Earhart, and Ella Fitzgerald; picture books about suffragettes and artist Alexander Calder; and a series of books about animal camouflage. She throws herself into her research to provide context for the facts and to make her stories come alive. As Stone herself says, “A book isn’t the end of information on a topic, a book is the beginning of a conversation.”
