Summary

Bill Nye meets Green Eggs and Ham in this playful and rhythmic nonfiction picture book that introduces readers to the concept of DNA, and celebrates the similarities we share with all life-forms--and each other!

DNA is the ABC
of what makes you, you
and what makes me, me.

Did you know we share DNA with every living thing? Humans, bugs, bears, even a virus--we all have shared DNA hidden inside us! 

From a debut author and an award-winning illustrator, here is a bouncy and playful picture book--perfect for the classroom or for story time--about the genetic code that makes up all living things, and reminds us that we're all more alike than we think.

Author Biography

Pauline Thompson is a Toronto-based writer who has too many artistic interests. She writes picture books, poems, and screenplays; she plays the piano, ukulele, and u-bass (badly); she paints and draws; and she dances to stay fit. Pauline is also a facilitator for the Toronto Writers Collective, which offers free creative writing workshops to underserved communities. This is her debut picture book.

Greg Pizzoli is the creator of the Baloney & Friends series, as well as a three-time Theodor Seuss Geisel Award recipient for The Watermelon Seed (Medal winner), The Book Hog (Honor book), and Good Night Owl (Honor book). He is also the author-illustrator of This Story Is for You, The 12 Days of Christmas, Templeton Gets His Wish, and Number One Sam. His nonfiction for children includes the New York Times Best Illustrated Book The Impossibly True Story of Tricky Vic: The Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower. He lives in Philadelphia with his family.
