What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Growing up, science was never my forte, but I was always a huge doodler and visual learner. Having struggled with Chemistry in particular in high school, I decided to create a book that would have helped my younger self learn and get excited about the subject by creating character designs for all 118 elements. And thus, Periodically Heroic was born!

If you’ve ever purchased a balloon at a theme park or inhaled its contents for that high-pitched voice effect, you have the high-spirited Helium to thank for that!
