Cece Loves Science: A STEM Picture Book About a Curious Girl, Her Dog, and Asking Questions for Kids (Ages 4-8)

Cece, a budding and inquisitive scientist, and her equally curious best friend, Isaac, conduct experiments to see whether Cece's dog, Einstein, will eat his vegetables.

As a child, Kimberly Derting spent hours drawing underground "worm cities" because her art skills didn't allow her to draw arms or legs. In college, she studied biology, but her real experiments are done at home, where she wrangles three kids, one husband, two dogs, two cats, and a rabbit--seriously, she's practically a zookeeper! She's terrified of spiders and snakes, but loves animals (obviously!), so she's spent her free time volunteering for a local animal shelter, with her daughter. Her hypothesis is that she's always right...although she's never actually been able to prove that theory. And even if you don't laugh at her jokes, she knows in her heart that she's hilarious. 

Shelli R. Johannes never warmed up to creepy crawly bugs, but she always loved zoology and biology. In fact, she can be found on highways and country roads saving strays and jaywalking critters, or volunteering with animal conservation groups like the Atlanta Zoo, the Dolphin Project, and Bosley's Place. Unfortunately she learned  that chemistry (aka cooking) was not her favorite science, resulting in odd reactions and minor explosions. She lives in Atlanta with her husband, two kids, one bird, one fish, and two crazy-haired goldendoodles who, just like Einstein, seem to love fruit and dessert, but loathe veggies.
