Science Stories for Children
For my Master’s dissertation I have written several children’s stories with science embedded in them. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback, I’m pleased to say I have now completed my MSc with a distinction. Whilst I work on writing more stories and publishing them, please enjoy these free e-books!
If you would like to be kept up to date on new stories – please sign up to my email newsletter here.
