The Picture Book Buzz - November 2024 Interview with STEAM Team Books Members

Hard to believe this is the final STEAM Team Interview post for 2024!

Whether you're here to support the STEAM Team authors, curiosity, or because you love nonfiction books, I hope you read to the end because you'll discover some amazing authors and super spectacular books!

Today I have the pleasure to introduce you to four creatives from the STEAM Team Books – a group of authors and illustrators who joined together to celebrate and help promote their STEAM books. I hope you enjoy this peek at these delightful books and fascinating creatives.

"STEAM Team Books is a group of authors who have a STEM/STEAM book releasing in 2023. It includes fiction & nonfiction, trade or educational books.” Check out their website for other interviews, activities, and bios.

Tell us a little about yourself. (Where/when do you write? How long have you been writing? What is your favorite type of book to write? What drew you to STEAM books? etc.)

Donna McKinney – Tiny Tern Takes Flight (Science, Naturally 11/5/2024) – My favorite place to write is at home. I have a sunroom porch with lots of windows and skylights. It has a very outdoorsy feel, but with all the comforts of being indoors. That room is my favorite writing spot.

I worked as a science writer for the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, for 30+ years. When I retired from that job a few years ago, I turned my focus to writing for children.

Although I enjoy reading fiction and non-fiction, all of my writing has been non-fiction. Since I had written about science for adults for many years, writing STEAM books for kids seemed like a very natural place for me to land.

[Author of 35 books, including Military Aircraft series (2024), The Tractor and Farm Equipment Encyclopedia (2024), Lights On! :Glow in the Dark Deep Ocean Creatures (2023), The Fishing Encyclopedia (2023), The Presidents Encyclopedia (2022), Women in Soccer (2020), How Do Smartphones Affect Social Interaction? (2020), Excelling in Soccer (2019), How STEM Built the Greek Empire (2019), Camping/Hiking (2019), Stem in Snowboarding (2018), and Careers for Tech Girls in Graphic Design (2018).]

Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw – The Super Volcano; A Hidden Hero Below Yellowstone National Park (Science, Naturally 11/5/2024) - Eight years ago, I decided if I didn’t make a concerted effort to carve out time to write I was never going to accomplish my dream of becoming a children’s book author. So New Year’s Eve 2016, I resolved to make writing a priority and it was the first resolution I’ve ever kept!

One of the first courses I enrolled in was a nonfiction picture book class. The idea of writing nonfiction resonated with me. As an elementary resource room teacher, I taught my developing readers by immersing them in a different science theme each year—my first theme was Yellowstone! Writing nonfiction STEAM books was a natural progression from my method of teaching.

My favorite place to write is looking out the big picture window in my family room that overlooks Elizabeth Lake, a small Michigan inland lake that reflects the colors of each season and welcomes a variety of wildlife.

[Author of Mighty Mahi (2022) and I Campaigned for Ice Cream: A Boy's Quest for Ice Cream Trucks (2019).]

Laura Chamberlain Gehl – Robot Shabat (Applesauce & Honey Press 11/12/2024) - I write board books, picture books, lift-the-flap books, early readers, and middle-grade nonfiction. I like writing all of them, and I really enjoy bouncing from fiction to nonfiction, and from board books to picture books.

I’ve always loved both writing and science. In third grade, I thought I was going to be a chemist, and I tried to memorize the periodic table…but I also worked on my first picture book. Flash forward almost twenty years, and I wrote my first published picture book, One Big Pair of Underwear, while working in a neurobiology lab. Many of my books have STEAM themes—not just my nonfiction books, but my fiction books as well.

[Author of over forty books for young readers. 15 Board Books, including Who Laid These Eggs? (2024), Odd Beasts (11/2021), Brilliant Baby Fights Germs (9/2021), Brilliant Baby Explores Science (9/ 2021), Soccer Baby (2021), Brilliant Baby Plays Music (2021), Brilliant Baby Does Math (2021), Baby Paleontologist (2020), Baby Botanist (2020), Baby Oceanographer (2019), and Baby Astronaut (2019). And 22 Picture Books, including Bat Wings! Cat Wings? (2021), Who Is a Scientist? (2021), The Ninja Club Sleepover (2020), May Saves the Day (2020), Happy Llamakkah (2020), Juniper Kai: Super Spy (2019), Always Looking Up: Nancy Grace Roman, Astronomer (She Made History) (2019) and 6 Early Readers Goat Wants to Eat (2021), Cat Has a Plan (2020), Dog Can Hide, Frog Can Hop (2023), Cat Sees Snow (2023), Pig Makes Art; and 2 lift-the-flap books Who Dug This Hole? (2023) and Who Laid These Eggs? (2024) and one middle-grade nonfiction Climate Warriors.]

Jennifer Swanson – Up Periscope: How Engineer Raye Montague Revolutionized Shipbuilding (Little Brown BFYR 11/19/2024) – I have been writing almost all of my life. I started creating books when I was in kindergarten. Throughout my life, I’ve kept journals. Mostly observations of things that have happened to me in my life and things I’ve found interesting. I started writing professionally about 12 years ago.

I typically write on my laptop or my desktop in my office. I feel most at home writing and researching there as that is where I’ve written almost all of my books. My writing day consists of getting up, having breakfast, and being in my office by around 8:30am. I work pretty much all day consistently until 5pm. I may stop to exercise or walk my dogs, but that is how I work for most of the week.

My favorite type of books to write are the ones about engineering and technology. I love learning! I have loved science my whole life. After all, I started a science club in my garage when I was 7 years old. My goal when I’m writing is to find a unique and exciting way to present my topic. Something that is natural, but unusual, like my book Save the Crash-test Dummies, which is the story of car safety engineering told through the lens of a crash-test dummy.

[Author of 48 books, including - The Lost Forest: An Unexpected Discovery Beneath the Waves (4/2/2024), Lego Amazing Earth: Fantastic Building Ideas and Facts About Our Planet (2023), Space Care: A Kid's Guide to Surviving Space (2023), Footprints Across the Planet (2022), Outdoor School: Rock, Fossil, & Shell Hunting (2021), Everything You Need to Ace Chemistry in One Big Fat Notebook (2020), Beastly Bionics: Rad Robots, Brilliant Biomimicry, and Incredible Inventions Inspired by Nature (6/2020), Spies, Lies, and Disguise: The Daring Tricks and Deeds That Won World War II (2019), Save the Crash Test Dummies! (2019), Absolute Expert: Dolphins (2018), Pearl Harbor (American Girl: Real Stories From My Time) (2018), Building With Poop (2018), Astronaut Aquanaut (2018), Environmental Activist Wangari Maathai (2018), and Dr. E’s Super Stellar Solar System: Massive Mountains, Supersize Storms, Alien Atmospheres, and Other Out-of-This-World Space Science (2018).]

Welcome everyone, what helps you to be inspired? (perhaps a certain place, music, activity, etc.)

Donna McKinney – I spend a lot of time with my grandchildren, who are elementary and middle school ages. They ask the best questions! Their curiosity pushes me to explore and ask “why?” too. Our world is a marvelous place and there’s so much I still hope to learn about it.

Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw – My writing inspiration comes from my teaching, my students, my two amazing sons, and the wonders of our world.

Laura Chamberlain Gehl – I am inspired most by my four kids and by the natural world. Almost all of my book ideas come from one of those two sources.

Jennifer Swanson – Curiosity! I am such a very curious person. I have lots of questions about how the world works, and how things are made. I will look at something, like a robot, a spacecraft, or even a submersible and just have to know how it was designed, engineered, and what makes it move the way it does. I think like a 10-year-old kid so then I ask questions like they would. That’s what inspires me to learn more and also write for kids that age.

Kids (or inner kids) offer such great inspiration! Now that we know a little more about all of you, what sparked your interest and caused you to write this book?

Donna McKinney – Tiny Tern Takes Flight (11/5/2024) - I loved migration stories. I think it’s fascinating to learn about unusual animal migrations in our world. I have so many questions … How do they know where to go? When to leave? When to come home? So, when I read about how the tiny Arctic tern makes such an extremely long-distance migration every single year, I knew I wanted to write a story about it.

Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw – The Super Volcano; A Hidden Hero Below Yellowstone National Park (11/5/2024) – In 2012, my family and I took a summer vacation to Yellowstone National Park. Journeying through the park, I was in awe of the spurting geysers, gurgling mud pots, and colorful hot springs. When I discovered these incredible sites were created by a volcano lying below the park, I knew I had to share these wonders with my students. That year, I transformed my classroom into a miniature Yellowstone and immersed my students in books, videos, and projects revolving around the park. This new method of teaching sparked a fire under my students by motivating and engaging them. Wanting to continue to spread the wonder of Yellowstone to more children, I penned my manuscript.

Laura Gehl – Robot Shabat (11/12/2024) - One of my sons was always building creations in elementary school—constantly requesting “two paperclips and a bendy straw” or “three rubber bands and six screws.” Nobody was surprised when that child ended up building robots and competing in robotics competitions when he reached middle and high school. Robot Shabbat is dedicated to him. But all four of my kids loved diving into our recycling bins when they were in preschool, using the contents to build amazing inventions. One year, we even had a recycling party. We saved up boxes, toilet paper rolls, and other recycling for months, and then dozens of kids came over…some bringing their own recycling…to build cars and robots and more. So, Robot Shabbat grew out of those experiences as well.

Jennifer Swanson – Up Periscope: How Engineer Raye Montague Revolutionized Shipbuilding (11/19/2024) – Back in 2017, I was scrolling through news articles and happen to catch one that mentioned “the Hidden Figure of the Navy” and I was intrigued. I went to the television page and watched the video. The news person was interviewing Raye Montague. She was fantastic and so inspiring. I’ll be honest, I’ve never really wanted to write nonfiction picture book biographies, but this was one person I couldn’t pass up. I contacted the news station and asked if I could get her email address. The news station contacted her son, and he agreed to email me. We ended up chatting first, then I got to interview Ms. Montague. I basically spent the entire conversation in awe of her. She was one amazing human!

I love learning where the spark for a book originated. What do you find to be the most challenging aspect of being a children’s author?

Donna McKinney – Since I write nonfiction, I think one of the challenges is to write accurately about a topic in a way that is engaging for young readers. It’s the balance of working to be factually accurate while also telling a compelling story. And there are also the publishing business challenges of writing a strong story and then getting it in front of the right editor at the right time for it to have a chance at being published.

Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw – Definitely the marketing!

Laura Chamberlain Gehl – One aspect I find challenging is when I write a story that I love, a story I believe kids would love too, and then my agent can’t find a publisher for it. This happens to all of the writers I know, but that doesn’t make it any less painful.

Jennifer Swanson – Juggling all of the things that we are required to do. We have to promote our books, look for opportunities to present, keep a regular presence on social media, network with other authors, find ideas, research them, write new books, edit other ones…. And on and on. It’s an awesome job, but—whew— it’s a lot sometimes.

So, a lot of work, a dash of drive, and a wee bit of luck! Definitely not for the faint of heart! Congrats to you all for creating these amazing books. Is there anything special you want your readers to know about your book?

Donna McKinney – Tiny Tern Takes Flight (11/5/2024) – I hope young readers will learn some things about the amazing Arctic tern when they read my book. I hope they might also think about bigger ideas like bravery and persistence. These are qualities the Arctic tern displays in his long, dangerous journey. We can embrace these qualities in our lives too!

Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw – The Super Volcano; A Hidden Hero Below Yellowstone National Park (11/5/2024) – The heart of the book stems from my passion to share Yellowstone’s amazing water features, majestic animals, unique plants, and of course its supervolcano with kids of all ages. Additionally, I hope readers will join The Yellowstone League of Superheroes and take the pledge to become stewards of not only Yellowstone, but also our beautiful planet.

Laura Chamberlain Gehl – Robot Shabat (11/12/2024) - Shabbat, which is a Jewish holiday that takes place every week from sundown on Friday night until sundown on Saturday night, is traditionally a time for people to power down from the busy week and recharge for the week ahead. In Robot Shabbat, the robot literally powers down for Shabbat!

Text © Jennifer Swanson, 2024. Image © Veronica Miller Jamison, 2024.

Jennifer Swanson – Up Periscope: How Engineer Raye Montague Revolutionized Shipbuilding (11/19/2024) – To know that they can do anything and be anything. Just what Raye’s mom said to her. Also, to never give up. If you want to do something, don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t come easy. Most things don’t. Keep at it. And if you can’t do it one way, try another. Or maybe you can do something adjacent to what you truly desire. There is always a way. Find it!

I one or another, all four books are about discovery - learning about nature, Shabbat, or a "hidden hero." What was the hardest, or most challenging, part of writing or researching your book? Was there a bit of your research you didn’t get to include?

Donna McKinney – Tiny Tern Takes Flight (11/5/2024) – One of the positive things about the internet is that it’s so easy to find useful information. The Audubon Society, National Wildlife Federation, and National Geographic, to name a few, were great resources for bird information. The challenge may have been in knowing when to stop researching and start writing the story. I found myself watching way too many Arctic tern videos for long stretches of time when I should have been writing. 😊

Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw – The Super Volcano; A Hidden Hero Below Yellowstone National Park (11/5/2024) –My heart was set on writing a book about Yellowstone, but since there are already a myriad of picture books about Yellowstone published, I needed to find a way make my manuscript stand out. A lot of research and brainstorming led me to a unique angle: I would compare the Yellowstone Supervolcano to a superhero whose feats include creating spectacular hydrothermal features and a thriving ecosystem. 😎

Laura Chamberlain Gehl – Robot Shabat (11/12/2024) - The hardest part of writing this book was figuring out how to cover all the important aspects of getting ready for Shabbat in just a few words, and then making them rhyme. The whole book has fewer than 100 words! 😮

Jennifer Swanson – Up Periscope: How Engineer Raye Montague Revolutionized Shipbuilding (11/19/2024) –The research part wasn’t hard. For me, the hardest part was writing and revising this manuscript. This was only the second picture book I ever wrote and it was challenging. I had so much to say and yet not many words to do it with. And the editing was frustrating for me. Put words in. Too much. Take them out. Took out too much. Put some back in. No, not that word, this one, etc. When you write MG or YA you do have to be careful of your words and your word count, but not like you do with a picture book. Still, I had an amazing editor and a wonderful friend who helped me a lot. 😉

Oh my gosh, those rabbit holes, uniqueness, rascally rhyming, and picture books in general can definitely cause issues. But it is so satisfying when you crack the puzzle of a picture book! Are there any upcoming projects that you are working on now that you can share a tidbit with us?

Donna McKinney – I’m in the early drafting stages of a story right now … and it’s another bird story!

Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw – In 2025, my fourth nonfiction picture book, Rugged RAX: The Little Satellite that Could, will be published by Fifth Avenue Press. Imagine being part of an engineering team tasked with designing and building a mini but mighty satellite — a CubeSat named RAX. The CubeSat’s mission? To gather space weather data helping scientists prevent massive blackouts caused by solar storms. The team plans, measures, problem solves, tinkers, and tests in preparation for RAX’s launch aboard a Delta II rocket. Hearts race as the team awaits the countdown, RAX’s deployment, and its first blip signaling it is operational. Rugged RAX packs a payload of space science and engineering for young reader ages 5-9.

For the past few years, I have switched my concentration from nonfiction picture books to fiction middle grade and am shopping publishers for my first fiction middle grade novel Decoding the Moon (working title). This contemporary novel is the story of avid rock climber Levi Manes who is struggling to connect with his autistic, spy-code-obsessed brother Zack after the death of their mom. Can the combination of an outdoor climbing slab, secret codes, and the Supermoon pull Levi’s family together and bring them the closure they desperately need? Decoding the Moon was the winner of the 2023 Fictionary Book of the Year Award for Middle Grade/Young Adult books in progress.

Laura Chamberlain Gehl – I am excited to share that there will be a third book in my Curious Critters series with amazing illustrator Gareth Lucas. Odd Bugs will join the family, following Odd Beasts (2021) and Odd Birds (2022). I can’t wait to introduce some of the weirdest, wackiest bugs to young readers.

Jennifer Swanson – I am thrilled to be co-authoring the second Atlas Obscura kids book! It is titled, The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide to Inventing the World and releases in Aug 2025 from Workman Publishing. This book is just SO cool! It covers the major inventions that humans have created over the years but ties them together, for instance you have to invent lenses before you can have telescopes to see the stars. You have basic pumps that move water before you can use them to move boats or cars. It’s just one amazing STEM-filled book. I’m so proud to be a part of the Atlas Obscura family!

All of these sound so intriguing. I can't wait to see them next year. Good luck on all your projects. Last question, is there a plant or flower you love growing, or wish you could grow, in your yard or garden?

Donna McKinney – I have five Christmas cactus plants in my sunroom (the room where I love to write). I’m not a “green thumb” kind of person, but through some miracle these plants bloom beautifully every year from Thanksgiving till January. It’s November now, so I’m anxiously awaiting the blooming of the Christmas cactus!

Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw – This year I ventured into growing strawberries. I planted them in a raised container to protect the flowers and fruit from the animals and was pleased with my first crop. The red flowers were a beautiful pop of color, and the juicy strawberries were a sweet summer treat. Looking forward to planting more next year!

Laura Chamberlain Gehl – If I could grow anything, it would be a raspberry bush. I grew up with a raspberry bush, and I loved going outside to pick raspberries. But in my current neighborhood, I think animals would eat all the berries before I had the chance to pick any!

Jennifer Swanson – I adore tulips! They are my favorite flowers. I think they are so beautiful, and they make me smile. At one time in my life, I could keep plants alive, alas that is not now. So, I just enjoy other people’s flowers or splurge and buy some for myself.

NOW, let me take a moment to introduce you to these amazing STEAM books!

Tiny Tern Takes Flight by Donna McKinney, illustrated by Fiona Osbaldstone (Science, Naturally 11/5/2024) - Written in lyrical prose with lots of onomatopoeia and accompanied by delicate, stunning illustrations, this wonderful nonfiction picture book follows an Arctic Tern's birth and first phenomenal round trip migrations. "Chasing sunlight" the young tern joins its flock to fly to the Antarctic, where it revels in the sunshine and builds its strength, so that when "sunlight creeps toward darkness, as Earth turns on its axis," the flock reverses their migration and flies back to the Arctic for summer once again. Wonderful information on the bird's habits and the dangers they face is enhanced by excellent back matter, creating a delightful ode to this remarkable bird.

Synopsis: Tiny Tern’s extraordinary journey begins!

Arctic terns make the longest migration of any species. Every year, they fly from the northern Arctic to the southern Antarctic―and back―spending most of the year in flight.

As the days grow shorter and colder, Tiny Tern and his flock prepare to leave the Arctic and begin their journey towards sunlight and warmth. The terns travel all the way to the other side of the world. Along the way, they encounter many dangers. Experience a bird’s-eye view of getting lost in heavy storms, protecting hatchlings from predators, and finally reaching your destination.

Following the story, discover more educational content about arctic terns. Read about what they eat, how they fly, and everything they encounter during their time in the Arctic and Antarctic.

With lyrical text and wondrous illustrations, join the flock of terns on their incredible journey, and learn about the power of perseverance from the birds who do it best. Tiny Tern Takes Flight is a celebration of nature and a reminder that sometimes all it takes is a little bravery.

The Super Volcano: A Hidden Hero Below Yellowstone National Park by Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw, illustrated by Brie Schmida (Science, Naturally 11/5/2024) – An ingenious nonfiction picture book combining detailed side bars with cartoon-like, succinct narration blocks positing the idea that beneath Yellowstone "simmers a superhero." In exploring Yellowstone with his family, the child discovers the mighty feats, superpowers, and stunning creations of the super volcano. Gorgeous, realistic illustrations, with close-up bubbles, offer a wonderful look at the power, majesty, and wonder of this Super volcano. Great back matter further explores the history and ecology of Yellowstone and introduces The Yellowstone League Of Superheroes. It's a really exciting way to explore the geothermal nature of Yellowstone National Park.

Synopsis: A secret superhero lies beneath Yellowstone National Park…

In a wonder-filled trip through an iconic destination, discover the spectacular powers of the supervolcano hidden below the ground. WHOOSH! SIZZLE! BLORP! Visit the volcano’s exploding geysers, boiling mud pots, and much more.

But what does a hero do best? Help others! The Yellowstone Supervolcano doesn’t just dazzle tourists. Learn how its superpowers support a thriving ecosystem, helping feed and protect the unique wildlife year after year.

Written by children's author Suzanne Jacobs Lipshaw, The Super Volcano explains natural science concepts and geological features in a way that builds excitement for learning. Stunning art by Brie Schmida captures the vivid colors and scenic views that make Yellowstone one of the world’s greatest natural treasures. Inspired by comic books, the traditional illustrations meet energetic comic panels and sound effects that leap off the page to engage kids of all ages.

Read facts about Native American history, the establishment of the first U.S. national park, conservation efforts, park staff, and visitor etiquette. And finally, take the pledge to help protect the park and become a new kind of Yellowstone superhero!

Robot Shabat by Laura Chamberlain Gehl, illustrated by Dave Williams (Applesauce & Honey Press 11/12/2024) - Set in space on a futuristic planet, which reminded me a lot of The Jetsons, a young girl and her cat create a space robot from found "junk." Combining a line of onomatopoeia with a simple rhyming line, "Vroom, vroom, vroom/ New friends zoom!" the bold, inventive illustrations follow the girl, cat, and robot as they prepare for and experience the sensations surrounding Shabat. A brief note at the end explains Shabbat. Encouraging funny voices and snuggles, this is a fun Pre-K sci-fi book on this Jewish tradition.

Synopsis: An introduction to the traditions of Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest, with a Jetsons twist!

In preparation for the weekly Sabbath dinner and celebration, a young girl builds a robot from household junk. The girl and robot become quick friends, vrooming around the space colony, baking challah, making matzah ball soup and getting ready to celebrate with family. Together, the girl and robot light the Shabbat candles and sing the blessings. A science fiction Shabbat, told in fun rhyme with an emphasis on noticing sounds.

An author's note explaining Shabbat makes this a fun-filled introduction to this important Jewish ritual.

Up Periscope: How Engineer Raye Montague Revolutionized Shipbuilding by Jennifer Swanson, illustrated by Veronica Miller Jamison (Little Brown BFYR 11/19/2024) – Using a remarkably powerful refrain, this nonfiction picture book is a special tribute to the first person to create a Navy ship using a single computer program. Following Raye Montague from her experiences as a young girl in Little Rock, Arkansas, during the 1940s, through her schooling and into her career in the U.S. Navy, the reader absorbs her self-confidence in the face of prejudice, her determination despite every roadblock, and her intelligence and drive to learn which enabled Raye to continue fighting and be in the right position at exactly the right time to succeed in her childhood goal of becoming an engineer and building ships and submarines. This is an inspiring and empowering picture book encouraging everyone to work toward their dreams.

Synopsis: Discover the hidden figure who created the first comprehensive computer program to design ships for the US Navy.

Girls like Raye Montague weren’t supposed to like math or science, or go to engineering school. But tenacious Raye had a plan, one that eventually took her all the way to the US Navy. There, she was assigned an impossible task: to come up with a single computer program that could design every part of a ship. It had never been done before—but Raye’s groundbreaking program revolutionized the way ships and submarines were built, and set her on a path to become a pioneering figure in naval engineering and the navy’s first female program manager of ships.

Award-winning author Jennifer Swanson and acclaimed illustrator Veronica Miller Jamison celebrate a self-made engineer who worked around anyone and anything that stood in her way in this illuminating biography about never giving up on your dreams.

Thank you all for giving us a little peek into yourselves and your books. Wishing you all enormous success.
