Deborah Heiligman knew in college that she wanted to be a writer, and she got her first big break soon after graduation, writing articles for Scholastic. She discovered that she loved writing for kids.
Deborah Heiligman writes fiction and nonfiction, for kids of all ages. She’s published more than 26 books, exploring topics as diverse as religious celebrations around the world, babies, butterflies, honeybees, and a particularly charming “loves-to-hear-a-book” dog (our kind of dog!). Her 2009 book, Charles and Emma: The Darwins’ Leap of Faith was nominated as a National Book Award Finalist.
