Rachel Buchholz

About the Author

Thanks to her more than 20 years writing and editing nonfiction for children, Rachel Buccholz can tell you everything there is to know about White House ghosts, skateboarding dogs, panda poop, and lady pirates. She’s the editorial director of Scouting America, the former editorial director of Nat Geo Kids Magazines and Digital, and the author of several books, including the 2027 TIME for Kids Almanac and Children’s Choice nominated How to Survive Anything: Shark Attacks, Lightning, Embarrassing Parents, Pop Quizzes, and Other Perilous Situations. After more than two decades in Washington, D.C., Rachel and her husband are back in her home state of Texas, where she’s shamelessly trying to eat as many tacos as possible.
