Elizabeth Rusch

[1] Rusch has written about numerous nonfiction subjects ranging from volcanology to the life of Maria Anna Mozart.

[2] Rusch has also written several works of fiction including the picture book A Day with No Crayons and the graphic novel Muddy Max: The Mystery of Marsh Creek[3].

Rusch's picture book Mario and the Hole in the Sky: How a Chemist Saved Our Planet drew national attention when all copies were pulped shortly before its release.

The book, a biography of Mario Molina, the Nobel-Prize winning chemist who helped solve the ozone layer crisis of the 1980s, took Rusch years to write.

“It’s really sad that people won’t be able to read this version,” said Ms. Rusch, who posted a comment on Facebook strongly supporting the women who came forward.
