Tracy Vonder Brink

I’m Tracy Vonder Brink, and I love facts and true stories–especially the unexpected ones!

I’m the author of more than 100 published and upcoming nonfiction books in science and social studies, ranging from kindergarten to 5th grade.

I’ve also had more than 70 nonfiction articles for kids published (and some for adults too), and I spent six years as a contributing editor for Click, ASK, and Muse, Cricket Media’s science and discovery magazines.

My work has appeared in Highlights, Click, Spider, ASK, Cricket, Muse, Science News Explores, USA TODAY, The Washington Post, and on Commonlit.org, as well as in Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader.

In 2020, I was honored to be the recipient of the American Association for the Advancement of Science Kavli Science Journalism Gold Award for Children’s Science News. Please enjoy the award-winning “Searching for Scat” (Click, April 2020) here.

My goal is to bring entertaining and accessible science and nonfiction to readers of all ages!
