Evolution has had quite the journey, including editions in Persian, Slovenian, Russian, and Portuguese, and winning the 2011 @laneandersonaward.bsky.social Young Reader award. I was heartbroken when the hardcover went out of print in 2024… Happily, it's still in demand, and still fills a niche!

I have some exciting news to share: my first book—Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be—is coming back into print with a brand new Sept 1 paperback release from Kids Can Press! Available for *pre-order now* from all your favorite booksellers! #kidlit #kidlitart #evolution

Just over two weeks to submit for the Lane Anderson Award! Deadline is April 30th, 2026. Check out our website for information: laneandersonaward.ca/submissions/
