What if kids, especially girls, really believed they could grow up and be anything? Laurie Wallmark was one of those kids, and so are the women she's written about.

Laurie is a full-time, award winning children's book author, and she "loves it." Some previous jobs she's held are software engineer, owner of a mail order company (she had a bookstore on the Web before Amazon did!), and computer science professor.

Her #WomenInSTEM picture book biographies are:
NUMBERS IN MOTION: SOPHIE KOWALEVSKI, QUEEN OF MATHEMATICIAN
HEDY LAMARR'S DOUBLE LIFE
GRACE HOPPER: QUEEN OF COMPUTER CODE
ADA BYRON LOVELACE AND THE THINKING MACHINE
