Don't miss this amazing opportunity to meet Andrea Beaty, the author of our favorite girl-power picture book of the season, Ada Twist, Scientist!

Iggy Peck and Rosie Revere have earned their places among the most beloved picture book characters, and have inspired countless kids to follow their dreams and passions. Ada Twist, with her boundless curiosity for science and love of the question Why?, is destined to join them. reminding us that we can be whatever we want to be if we have perseverance and a curious mind.

Like her classmates, builder Iggy and inventor Rosie, scientist Ada, has a boundless imagination and has always been hopelessly curious. Why are there pointy things stuck to a rose? Why are there hairs growing inside your nose? When her house fills with a horrific, toe-curling smell, Ada knows its up to her to find the source. Not afraid of failure, Ada embarks on a fact-finding mission and conducts scientific experiments, all in the name of discovery. But, this time, her experiments lead to even more stink and get her into trouble!

Inspired by real-life makers such as Ada Lovelace and Marie Curie, Ada Twist, Scientist champions girl power and women scientists.
