            NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 2019) -- Jada Scott, a fifth-grade student at Homer Pittard Campus School in Murfreesboro, will present a book reading with Q&A based on her first book, "Talking Planets: The Night Problem," from noon-2 p.m. March 9 (Saturday) at the Shelbyville-Bedford County Public Library, 220 S.

          Attendees of the event will enjoy a talk, book reading, and PowerPoint presentation. Children of all ages will have the opportunity to create decorative space bags for a make-believe journey into space. Admission is free.

 

          The 10-year-old student has dreamed of writing a book ever since she visited the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Alabama. The talented author and visual artist, who plans to be a rocket ship designer/engineer when she grows up, takes readers on an adventurous journey through the solar system aboard her red, white and purple rocket. She brings the sun, nearby planets, moon, and even a black hole to life with insightful facts and original artwork. 

          "I aspire to work for NASA as a rocket ship designer/engineer when I grow up," said Jada. "In addition to my love for science, I enjoy art and creating solar system models."
