About the Author
Chanté Timothy is an author-illustrator who has always had a sense of wonder about the world and a passion for scientific facts and trivia. As a child, she shared an interest in science with her mom, but never really saw it as a subject women could be leaders in--let alone a Black woman. Chanté hopes that Supa Nova will be a catalyst for all children to find excitement and fun in STEAM subjects. Chanté lives in the United Kingdom.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Intelligent, confident, and capable Nova--along with her supportive family and their gentle ribbing--model healthy attitudes around creativity, curiosity, and accountability. Though Nova's experiments often rely on fantastical sensibilities, a closing section detailing "the real science behind the story" grounds the featured antics, while bright and kinetic artwork contribute to the novel's cheerful atmosphere." --Publisher's Weekly
"A brainy bonanza with an important message of conservation at its center."
--Emerald Martinez, Booklist "A wonderful STEM-themed addition for all tween shelves. Readers will love Nova and look forward to sequels."--Melisa Bailey, School Library Journal
