Mama Gone Geek: Calling On My Inner Science Nerd to Help Navigate the Ups and Downs of Parenthood - Paperback

A Science-Infused Journey Through Parenthood

How do you connect the artsy, science-nerd mom to the art and science of parenting? Lynn Brunelle shares her field trip through pregnancy and parenting, sprinkled with a sparkle of science, in this hilarious and awe-inspiring memoir.

With great enthusiasm, Lynn shows how she shares her inner geek--the part of her that is gleefully curious and wide-eyed with wonderment--with her children. For Lynn, science is the stardust that makes common things glow. Why not pass that magic along to the kids? When Lynn brought her passion for science into her parenting, it began to make all the difference to her and her kids. Her heart lifts when her boys are elbow-deep in mud searching for crystals and when she catches them debating whether a chicken is related to a dinosaur.

From Emmy Award-Winning Writer to Science-Loving Mom

Science isn't just for geeks. It's the future. If you're a parent or planning to become one, it's your future. This memoir bridges the gap between scientific curiosity and everyday parenting challenges, offering a fresh perspective on raising children with wonder and discovery at the forefront.

Lynn Brunelle brings over twenty years of writing experience to this personal narrative, drawing from her background as a four-time Emmy Award-winning writer for Bill Nye the Science Guy. Her unique perspective as both a classroom science teacher and a mother creates an authentic voice that resonates with parents seeking to inspire curiosity in their children.

Perfect for Science-Minded Parents

Whether you're navigating the ups and downs of pregnancy, managing the chaos of early childhood, or guiding older kids through their own discoveries, this memoir offers both humor and practical inspiration. Lynn's approach demonstrates that incorporating scientific thinking into parenting doesn't require a PhD—just curiosity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to get elbow-deep in mud alongside your kids.

This paperback edition from Shambhala captures the essence of modern parenting where education, entertainment, and everyday wonder intersect.
