LyonCub Biochemist

The following Children's STEM books, aimed at elementary-aged students, were written and illustrated by Mount Holyoke undergraduates (indicated by * below) in Prof. Berry's RNA World seminar. PDFs for many of the books are available to download for free below (we recommend setting your view to "two pages" to read book as a spread). If you'd like the joy of reading a physical printed copy, you can buy copies through thebookpatch.com (links below).
