Helen Taylor is a science-loving children’s writer in Santa Cruz, California. She started telling quirky stories at the California Academy of Sciences, a museum and research institution in San Francisco, where she wrote about polar bear hair plugs, catfish physicals, and other curiosities. In 2019, she received the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators’ Work-in-Progress Grant for Nonfiction. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her traipsing through the redwoods with her family. Or stargazing. Or daydreaming about tacos.

Congratulations Helen!
