Artemis Roehrig

So excited to announce the sale of my new novel!

Sometimes being a scientist means you get to do things like spending 8 hours sticking moth eggs onto pieces of tape…

November field research season is beautiful but my fingers are freezing!

Haven’t been on here in awhile, hi everyone!

For my birthday this year, please go request Rainbow Science at your local library. And if you have read it already, go post a quick review on Amazon, Goodreads, or give it some stars at Target etc. 🙂 Go do this for all your other author (or illustrator) friends too! @jvnla.bsky.social

Excited to get my copies of Rainbow Science, by Artemis Roehrig --a perfect gift for the first day of Spring ! Kids have fun doing the experiments -- and learn all about rainbows, too! amzn.to/3TlsJ30

Rainbow Science is officially out in the world today! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen! @arianaphilips.bsky.social @jvnla.bsky.social

This year I spent WRAD extracting DNA from all these moths instead of reading to kids. Hope to find time to participate again next year!

Got some exciting mail! My author copies of Rainbow Science :) Yay!!! (In stores March 19– available for pre-order now)

Saw this fun chemis-tree today at the Clement Chemistry Building at Trinity College.

Fun to do an interview with my daughter /co-author as part of this "tour" with Amherst area kidlit authors and illustrators. What an amazing community we have here!

Invasive bug, as described by earlier commenter, so high densities aren’t a good thing!

Repetitive microscope work might seem boring to some, but to me it means I get to spend some time listening to an audiobook. Today it’s Camp Zero by Michelle Min Sterling. What are some of your favorite audiobooks?

Found some high densities of hemlock woolly adelgid today!

Fall field work means wearing lots of orange!

One day I decided to join a book club that incorporated a dance class (since I did not know how to dance at all!) Several years later and I spent my weekend performing (with my kids) in the studio’s modern reimagining (not ballet) of the Nutcracker!

The Littlest Matryoshka. written by Corinne Demas, illustrated by Kathryn Brown

Fun fact: when I was a kid, my mom wrote The Littlest Matryoshka for for me as a present. It’s still in print and is on sale on Amazon today! @corinnedemas.bsky.social

This is a picture of the cover of the new children’s activity book, Rainbow Science, written by Artemis Roehrig, illustrated by Sarah Walsh, published by Storey Publishing.

Rainbow Science is available for pre-order wherever you buy books! You can request signed copies through my local bookstore.

Love it when doing science means I get to work in beautiful places!

The audiobook for my mom’s novel The Road Towards Home hit #1!

A letter from the Scholastic corporation that reads "Dear Authors and Illustrators, I want to update you regarding the Book Fairs Share Every Story/Celebrate Every Voice case. First, I want to apologize on behalf of Scholastic. Even if the decision was made with good intention, we understand now that it was a mistake to segregate diverse books in an elective case. We sincerely apologize to every author, illustrator, licensor, educator, librarian, parent, and reader who was hurt by our action. We recognize and acknowledge the pain caused, and that we have broken the trust of some of our publishing community, customers, friends, trusted partners, and sta", and we also recognize that we will now need to regain that trust. This case will be discontinued starting with our next season in January. For the remaining fairs in the fall, Book Fairs is working on a pivot plan as we speak. We will find an alternate way to get a greater range of books into the hands of children. We remain committed

Scholastic Book Fairs is ending their segregated book program. We made ourselves heard.

Always exciting to come across your books in the wild!

Time to write a bunny book?
