Helaine Becker is the award-winning author of more than 100 books for children and young adults, both nonfiction and fiction. She is the two-time winner of the Lane Anderson Award for science writing for children, as well as the Outstanding Youth Book Award (Canadian Science Writers Association) and the Picture Book of the Year Award (Canadian Booksellers Association). Two of her numerous math- and science-related books focus specifically on technology and robotics: Zoobots: Wild Robots Inspired by Real Animals and Hubots: Real-World Robots Inspired by Humans. Helaine's books have been translated into 14 languages, and she is a frequent speaker at schools, universities and conferences. The very first novel she wrote (and stuffed deep into a drawer, never to be seen again) was called Robot Girl and was about an AI clone of a teen prodigy.
