The award-winning author of 15 books for children, DEBORAH HEILIGMAN has written three books for National Geographic: Honeybees; Babies: All You Need To Know; and High Hopes: A Photobiography of John F. Kennedy. Her best-known and bestselling book outside NGS is From Caterpillar to Butterfly (HarperCollins, 1996). Deborah specializes in writing about complex subjects for young people, particularly in the areas of science and social studies. She is equally at home writing for early readers and middle grade students. Her experience as a religious studies major at Brown University has been put to good use in working on this series. Deborah lives in New York City with her husband, author Jonathan Weiner, her sons Aaron and Benjamin, and her cat, Peanut Butter.
Spring religious observances unfold with two crisply designed photoessays in the Holidays Around the World series by Deborah Heiligman: Celebrate Passover with Matzah, Maror, and Memories and Celebrate Easter with Colored Eggs, Flowers, and Prayer. The books allow youngsters to explore the faith traditions and symbols surrounding these holidays. A glossary, informational guide and a note from a consulting religious leader are included in each volume.
