  Alvin
Silverstein grew up in Brooklyn, the youngest son of an immigrant
family who emphasized hard work and education. After graduating from
Brooklyn College, he went to graduate school at the University of
Pennsylvania, where he got a Master's degree in chemistry and met
his wife, author Virginia Silverstein. He got his Ph.D. at NYU while
teaching at the College of Staten Island. He ultimately became a Professor
of Biology there and also Director of the Physician Assistant program,
while coauthoring books with his wife and, later, two of their children
as well. In 1971 they realized their long-time dream of moving to
a "house in the country," in rural New Jersey. (from https://www.lernerbooks.com/contacts/1736/Alvin-Silverstein

  Virginia
Silverstein was an only child and grew up in Philadelphia. She majored
in chemistry and studied languages in her spare time. She met her
husband, author Alvin Silverstein, in the chemistry lab at Penn when
she was a senior and he was a graduate student. That led to marriage,
six children, nine grandchildren, and more than 200 published books,
mainly on science and health topics for children and adults. (Two
of their children, Bob and Laura, have coauthored a number of books
with them.) Virginia has also worked as a chemist (briefly) and as
a translator of Russian science articles and books. She and her husband
live in rural New Jersey, in a big old house that has hosted a variety
of pets but now includes just one cat (who speaks two words of English
but understands a lot more). (from https://www.lernerbooks.com/contacts/1737/Virginia-Silverstein

 Laura
Nunn Laura Silverstein Nunn is a graduate of Kean College in New Jersey.
She has been writing with her parents since the early 1990s. She is
the coauthor of more than one hundred books on diseases and health,
science concepts, endangered species, and pets. She lives with her
husband Matt and teenage son Cory in a rural New Jersey town not far
from her childhood home. (from https://www.lernerbooks.com/contacts/1738/Laura-Silverstein-Nunn ) |
 Robert
Alan Silverstein is a utopian author, artist, song writer, filmmaker,

For Peace Project in 1995, hundreds of thousands of activists and
students have been inspired by his educational resources that integrate
his illustrations of more than 1000 Better World Heroes for a more
peaceful, just and sustainable world. He is also the co-founder of
The EMILY Fund, which was created in 2009 after the murder of his
daughter, Emily, to continue her legacy of youth service and activism
and to raise awareness about dating violence. The published author
of more than 40 books, coauthored with Alvin and Virginia Silverstein,
Robert has served as an NGO Representative to the United Nations,
the Managing Director of a small philanthropic grant-making foundation,
and the coordinator of several global campaigns for a better world.
