Children's author and veteran science educator will join MainSpring Books in Frankfurt for a featured interview, inviting readers to explore a holiday story centered on teamwork, recognition, and cultural connection.



LOS ANGELES, CA, September 22, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Science educator Dr. Barbara ten Brink will join MainSpring Books as a special featured appearance during Frankfurt Book Fair 2026, taking place Oct. 7–11 at Messe Frankfurt. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet Dr. Barbara during a book signing at the MainSpring Books booth, Halle 4.2, M20, on the morning of October 10. The signing will provide readers, fellow authors, literary professionals, and other fair attendees with a more personal way to engage with the author and her work while celebrating the shared experience of books and storytelling at Frankfurt.

Set at the North Pole, Miss Claus and Her Pandas returns to the world introduced in Miss Claus and Her Bunnies. The Magical Bunnies ask that their contributions to Santa's annual preparations be recognized, while the Pandas arrive as ambassadors from China and are welcomed into the North Pole community. Through Miss Elizabeth Claus, Santa, the Bunnies, and the Pandas, the story gives young readers an accessible way to consider recognition, cooperation, listening, and the different strengths individuals bring to a shared task.

Dr. ten Brink brings a substantial background in education to her writing. She holds a Ph.D. in Science Education from the University of Texas at Austin, an M.S. in Biology from Southwest Texas State University, and a B.S. in Elementary Education from Texas Tech University. Her professional experience includes science teaching, university instruction, and science education administration, and her published work spans children's literature, young-adult books, poetry, short stories, and other educationally informed writing.

Readers who cannot meet the author in Frankfurt can continue exploring her work through her online author platform, which brings together her biography, book catalog, interviews, videos, and links to additional titles. Miss Claus and Her Pandas is also available through Amazon, giving families, educators, reviewers, and readers another way to discover the book before or after the fair.

Her featured appearance will introduce international readers to Miss Claus and Her Pandas, the second Christmas title in her Miss Claus in Toy Land series, and will include a special recorded author interview centered on the story, her educational perspective, and the value of bringing readers together across cultures.
