Hello and welcome!

I’m Rebecca E. Hirsch, a science writer, educator, and award-winning children’s author.

Read on for more about me, my books and articles, and my school visits.

About Me

I write with a mission: to ignite kids’ excitement for science and nature.

I’ve written dozens of articles and more than 90 books, including picture books and nonfiction for children and teens. My newest book, Wonder Wings: Guess Who’s Flying, soared into the world in April 2025.

When I’m not writing, I visit schools, libraries, and nature centers where I share my passion for the natural world.
