About the Author:
Andrew Signore is the author of the Adventures of Charlotte and Henry series — early chapter books that blend real-world exploration, STEM learning, and meaningful lessons in courage, resilience, and kindness.
An ICU nurse by day, Andrew has devoted his professional life to caring for others. His love of helping people extends beyond the hospital and into his writing, where he hopes to nurture strong character, empathy, and brave hearts in young readers.
The Charlotte and Henry series began as a gift for his niece and her puppy — named Charlotte and Henry — with the intention of inspiring her to be kind, brave, and always willing to seek adventure. What started as a personal story grew into a mission: to create books that serve as gateways for children to become curious learners, resilient thinkers, and compassionate human beings. Through imaginative journeys to some of the world’s most remarkable places, Andrew reminds young readers that bravery isn’t the absence of fear — it’s choosing to move forward anyway.
In this early chapter STEM adventure, Charlotte and her pup Henry explore the Mariana Trench—the deepest part of our planet. Through real science, deep-sea discovery, and thoughtful reflection, young readers learn that bravery isn’t the absence of fear—it’s moving forward anyway.
