About Michael Bacotti
Michael Bacotti is the pen name for a writer whose work spans children's educational fiction and science communication for young readers. Microbiology ABC's turns the microscopic world into an alphabet — each letter entry introducing a microbe, cellular process, or scientific concept through vivid, accessible language that makes complex biology feel like an adventure rather than a subject to be memorized. The Virus: A Children's Story approaches viral biology through narrative, giving young readers a framework to understand what a virus is and how immune systems respond — without fear-mongering or oversimplification. Bacotti's approach to children's science writing is grounded in genuine scientific accuracy while remaining genuinely warm and accessible. The books are short enough for read-aloud sessions and detailed enough to reward repeated reading.
