In 2017 the unrivalled Julian Frost and I made this picture book about microbes. We asked Linnea Rundgren to take scanning electron microscope photos, which turned out to be a smart move on our part. It’s come out in, about twenty languages by now. We even won the 2018 Children’s Book Council of Australia’s Eve Pownall Award for information books, which I’m really happy about.

Do not lick this book is also:
– One of Kirkus Reviews’ Best Informational Picture Books of 2018. They called it
‘Science at its best: informative and gross.’

– A 2018 White Raven

– Parents Magazine 2018 Best First Nonfiction Book

So apparently grownups like it too.
