Although she started making books at the age of nine, Joan Marie Galat wasn’t published until she was 12 years old, when she became a paid weekly newspaper columnist. Today she is the international award-winning author of more than 30 books in eight languages.

Joan shares her love of the stars in the Dot to Dot in the Sky series, which combines sky science with the ancient myths that give night sky objects their names. Her first book, Dot to Dot in the Sky - Stories in the Stars, became a best seller within six weeks of its release. Joan's National Geographic Kids title—Solve This! Wild and Wacky Challenges for the Genius Engineer in You—steers young readers into building their creativity through the engineering process. Her middle grade novel—Mortimer: Rat Race to Space—explores what happens when a journal-keeping lab rat on the International Space Station sets out to prove his species should be the one to colonize Mars.

Joan’s books for children explore engineering, space, astronomy, ancient myths and legends, light pollution, nature, wildlife, ecology, and other topics. Her work for adults include a travel guide and motivational title.

A prolific writer for all ages and relentless promoter of reading, Joan uses storytelling to connect with audiences. She offers virtual and in person presentations. Career highlights have involved speaking at a United Nations Environment Programme event in South Korea; international tours, and presenting at schools and libraries across Canada and internationally.
