NASHVILLE,
Tenn. (January 2019) -- Jada Scott,
a fifth-grade student at Homer Pittard Campus School, will present an astronomy
talk based on her first book, "Talking
Planets: The Night Problem," from 11 a.m.-noon Feb. 9 (Saturday) at Shelby
Bottoms Nature Center, 1900 Davidson St. in Nashville, Tennessee.
Her talk will
occur immediately after the "Mr. Bond and the Science Guys." 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.
