Simon & Schuster to publish Dr. Fauci children’s book in June

Dr. Fauci is getting animated.

A “definitive picture book biography” about the definitive epidemiologist will be published this summer.

On June 29, Simon & Schuster will release “Dr. Fauci: How a Boy from Brooklyn Became America’s Doctor,” written by Kate Messner with illustrations by Alexandra Bye.

The book, which as its title states, tells the life story of the man who holds the position of director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and is recognized as one of the the most crucial figures in the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the publisher, Messner – a former middle school teacher and TV news reporter – conducted interviews with the good doctor for the tome, which also features extensive backmatter, including a timeline, recommended reading, a full spread of facts about vaccines and how they work.

The 80-year-old Cornell University alum also offers tips for future scientists.
