Donna Bozzone

I love a good story. I particularly enjoy true stories—what some call non-fiction—about history, culture, art, the lives of individuals, and especially science. For many years, I shared the stories I learned with the students I taught and in books that I wrote for kids and teens. Now I write full-time. In fact, I write all the time!  I have published books about the human body (The Respiratory System; The Circulatory System; The Immune System; Cells, Tissue, and Skin; The Fascinating Human Body Book for Kids: 500 Phenomenal Facts!), infectious disease (Cholera; Campylobacteriosis; Tuberculosis), biology (Understanding Microbes; Biology in Your Everyday Life; Stem Cell Research and Society), cancer (Causes of Cancer; Cancer Genetics; Leukemia), and biographies (Joined By Fate: Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth; Famous Immigrant Computer Scientists). I also published, with my late husband Doug Green, two versions of a non-majors’ introductory biology textbook (Biology for the Informed Citizen, Biology for the Informed Citizen with Physiology). I am on a mission to demonstrate that science is fun and that everyone is a natural born scientist—all it takes is curiosity, creativity, and the determination to keep asking questions, exploring, and investigating. My dream is to make science accessible to kids and young adults and show how everything we know is interrelated, exciting, and sometimes life-changing.
