Rotem Moscovich at Knopf has bought world rights to Hooray for DNA! by debut author Pauline Thompson, to be illustrated by Greg Pizzoli (The Watermelon Seed). A playful and rhythmic introduction to DNA, this picture book celebrates the similarities we share with all life forms and with each other. Publication is scheduled for spring 2023; Stacey Kondla at the Rights Factory represented the author, and Steven Malk at Writers House represented the illustrator.




I'm excited to see how "Hooray for DNA!" brings the concept of DNA to life for young readers. I spent a while on Ikibu casino, and it made me appreciate how important it is to understand our biological connections, just like the book aims to teach. It sounds like a delightful resource for parents looking to spark curiosity in their children about science.
