Rita Lim is a scientist by background, and whilst working in the material analysis field can be challenging, her biggest challenge to date is raising her two energetic munchkins who have the most curious minds! And so, this book came about because teaching children and answering the ‘what’, ‘why’, and ‘how’ questions can be entertaining, and fun! Rita resides in Melbourne, Australia, with her children and wonderful husband, who will always be a kid at heart!
