![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks also to Politics & Prose for booking Maris at my library. Maris drew Jane Goodall riding a whale shark for Alison Morris.ĮND NOTES: Thanks to Maris Wicks for opening my eyes to how fun science can be! Thanks to publicist extraordinaire Gina Gagliano of First Second Books/Macmillan, for working out all the program details and sending a review copy of Coral Reefs. These days, Maris focuses full-time on creating science comics - and giving wonderfully fun and inspiring presentations. That launched her career in a big way, as Ottaviani is well-known for his graphic novels on science and scientists. Her work caught the eye of the folks at First Second Books, the renowned graphic novel imprint of Macmillan, who chose her to illustrate Primates, which was written by Jim Ottaviani. ![]() Over the years that she worked in education, Maris continued to draw and create comics, both for the Aquarium, and for places like Spongebob Comics, Marvel Comics, and DC Comics. Creating science comics and making presentations about them seems to be a perfect mix for Maris, who majored in illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design before embarking on her career as a science educator. ![]()
