In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, award-winning author Laurie Wallmark discusses her picture book biographies about women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). The women who are the subjects of Laurie’s books are pioneers in fields ranging from computer science to mathematics to astronomy. Her latest book is titled, Numbers in Motion: Sophie Kowalevski, Queen of Mathematics. (Check out Laurie reading from her picture books on her Youtube channel.) Laurie has always loved math and is a former software engineer and computer science professor. Now, she channels that passion into her writing, finding ways to explain difficult concepts to young readers and sharing the stories of amazing women in STEM. In this episode, Laurie discusses her writing journey, why she believes children’s pictures books are an excellent way to get kids excited about science and math and why she believes it is important for both girls and boys to read about women in STEM. 

The Bookshop at the End of the Internet is also available on iTunes, Google Play Music, Spotify and iHeartRadio. Subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss an episode!
