Wil began writing educational books for children in the 1990s. Most are biographies but also include titles on science, geography, and history. They have been praised in every major review publication—including Booklist, the Horn Book Guide, and the School Library Journal—and sold hundreds of thousands of copies. ”I love being able to play a role in the development of young minds.
