Michael O. Isei is an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology who is passionate about making science understandable and exciting for young learners. Through both his academic work and his writing, he enjoys translating complex scientific ideas into clear, relatable explanations that spark curiosity. 

Why Do I Look Like My Parents? was inspired by his desire to introduce children to the fascinating world of genetics at an early age. Children naturally notice similarities within their families and often ask thoughtful questions about why they look the way they do. This book was written to help answer those questions in a fun, friendly, and accessible way. 

By introducing the idea of genes through everyday examples and simple storytelling, Dr. Isei hopes to help children appreciate the science behind family resemblance while encouraging a lifelong interest in learning about their body.
