My fascination with Antony van Leeuwenhoek started when I picked up my daughter's school book from the coffee table and wondered...

​

How did an uneducated shopkeeper become the Father of Microbiology? 

​

The short answer? CURIOSITY and PERSEVERANCE

​

The long answer? You'll have to read my two picture books and historical novel to find out! 

​

But while we're all waiting for those books to find a home in the publishing world, 

you're invited to watch these videos! 

Watch a clever and informative puppet show by Flora Lichtman and Sharon Shattuck!
Seeing the Invisible:
van Leeuwenhoek's first glimpses of the microbial world.
