Mary Wissinger

Mary Wissinger was born in Wisconsin where she spent most of her childhood reading, daydreaming, and writing. While spending time as a classroom teacher, she saw firsthand the incredible life-changing power of stories. The stories children read become the stories they play, and then the stories they tell. Award-winning books include "My First Science Textbook", a series of sweet and scientifically accurate chemistry stories for kids, and "Science Wide Open", a picture book series celebrating the world-changing contributions of female scientists. Science Wide Open Set 2 will be released September 16, 2022. Mary holds a BA in Communication and an MA in Teaching. She lives in St. Louis, MO.
