Early life and education

Trumbauer was born in The Bronx, New York City, on February 15, 1963, to Fred and Sigrid Trutkoff.[2] She earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland.[2]

Trumbauer became a children's author, often of "explainer" books about science (What is Electricity?

In 2006, Nina Hess, editor of the Mirrorstone imprint at Wizards of the Coast that produced children's picture books, asked Trumbauer to write Mirrorstone's first title, A Practical Guide to Dragons.[3] The book became a New York Times Bestseller in the category "Children's Books."[4]
