Herbert Zim was born in 1909 in New York before he moved to Southern California. He started writing in 1934 while conducting research in studying children's education and interests in the sciences.

He continued to write and publish several science books throughout his life and also served as both an educational consultant for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and a professor in education at the University of Illinois.
