Author of First Person Science

Sol Merriweather

Sol writes science books for curious kids aged 7 to 12, and for the grown-ups who read along. Every book follows one rule: start every fact with you.

About Sol

Start with the reader.

Sol thinks the best way into a big idea is through something you already know: your own hands, your own kitchen, the view from your own window. A fact about a volcano lands harder when you can picture yourself standing on its side.

So every First Person Science book puts the reader inside the science. Some pages compare a fact to you, some ask you to notice something on your own body or at home, and some put you right in the scene. A few add a simple, kitchen-table-safe experiment to try.

Sol checks every fact against two sources and says plainly when scientists still disagree.
