Kim Zachman

When Kim Zachman was a kid, she drove her parents crazy asking "Why?" She still asks a lot of questions, and when she finds fun, interesting answers, she writes about them. "There's No Ham in Hamburgers: Facts and Folklore About Our Favorite Foods" has all the fascinating science and history behind the dishes Americans love to eat. It was a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection for 2021, Georgia Center of the Book's "Books All Young Georgians Should Read" award-winner, and a finalist in the AAAS/Subaru Prize for Science Books for 2021. Her second book, "There's No Cream in Cream Soda: Facts and Folklore About Our Favorite Drinks" is overflowing with more science, history, and wacky facts about beverages. It is also a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection.
