Balkan, Gabrielle

Gabrielle’s books delight readers ages 0–12 with curious and essential facts about geography, animal record-breakers, and inspiring people. Learn about whether there is poison ivy on the moon, the dangers of falling dino poop, mapping an adventure, what “eye of newt” really is, and in her books What Medicine Can Do, Book of Dinosaurs, What a Map Can Do, and How to Be a Witch.

When she’s not puzzling over how to explain complex topics to readers, Gabe loves visiting classrooms and brainstorming with kids—it’s the best way to get ideas for new books!

Visit her online: www.gabriellebalkan.com and @gabriellebalkan.
