The creator of the "My First Science Textbook" series is a long-time chemistry teacher. He noticed that, no matter the age of his students, they all faced similar difficulties – mainly, the perception of science and chemistry as intimidating. This inspired him to find a fun and memorable way to introduce young people to some of the most fundamental concepts in science.



Follow Pete the Proton, Ned the Neutron, and Ellie the Electron, who get together to build everything in the universe. Let your imagination roam while you and your kiddo ponder what's it like to live inside an atom! 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.
