OSTB fans, you'll love this behind-the-scenes peek at how the authors and photographers/illustrators work on the amazing books on this list!

Loree Griffin Burns, Author was thrilled to see two of her books with photographer Ellen Harasimowicz on NSTA's recent Outstanding Science Tradebooks for Students K-12 list. But she noticed that illustrator names were not included for any of the 44 titles listed. NSTA quickly fixed that, and Loree Griffin Burns wrote about the collaborative labor of love that goes into her books. http://nstacommunities.org/blog/2015/01/23/creating-childrens-science-books-a-lesson-in-teamwork/ Hat Tip to publishers Lerner Publishing Group and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Trade for producing the outstanding books mentioned!
