Description

Peter and the Whimper-Whineys is about a small rabbit who whines all the time. His mother cautions him that if he keeps on whining and crying, he’ll have to go live with the Whimper-Whineys. One night Peter hops into the dark forest. He meets some Whimper-Whineymen and discovers that not only do the Whimper-Whineys whine all the time, but they are very ill-mannered and rude. He discovers that everything is sour in Whimper-Whineyland and decides his mother was right! If only he can get back home… a recent critique, “Though there are other books out there for children about whining, I cannot imagine any parent or guardian not wanting to read this book to their child!... Parents everywhere applaud you!”

Story Behind The Book

My Pomona College first year students in Biographies of Biologists seminar wanted to read a memoir or biography of a woman in science who had a family life and achieved family-career balance. When I couldn't find one, they urged me to write a memoir since I told them I had balanced my own career and family and still did research on the molecules of aging. Later I heard Donna Shalala say that we need many more biographies of women in science, and having surveyed the few available, I am sure she is right.
