DNA Science Books - Dinky Amigos: Creative DNA Education

Learn Science with Stories

I’m Lisa. I have a PhD in Biochemistry and a passion for teaching DNA and evolution to a primary audience. I feel privileged to teach your child and have created the Dinky Amigos so they can learn about the science of us without any of the complicated chemistry.

I write books aimed at 9-12 year olds which combine science fact and process into an easy-to-read and simple to understand, illustrated story about what happens inside of us.

To accompany my school workshop, I would like to offer you and your child up to 25% discount off the retail price. Please tap the green button to purchase and fill in the information if you would like a dedication in the book.

But when the boat bursts, it can no longer carry oxygen and things go horribly wrong. Can Alina and her friends get the help they need to save the thing they care about most – you?

A mysterious virus. A global pandemic. Just how does a tiny germ hijack your body and cause so much damage?

But when the tower is broken into by a mysterious virus, the important instructions are ignored and things go horribly wrong. Can Alina and her friends get the help they need to save the thing they care about most – you?
