Melissa Trempe Storytime & Book Signing

Join us as we welcome local author Melissa Trempe with her new children's book, Ladybug Launch: Inspired by a True Story of Chinitas in Space.

Natalia is a chica, an ambitious girl with dreams of becoming a scientist. Luna is a chinita, an adventurous ladybug that dreams of visiting the stars. But neither dream is easy to reach. Ladybugs are meant to munch on garden pests. And no one from Natalia’s family has ever been to college. Still, both Natalia and Luna want más.

This inspiring picture book is based on the real story of Chilean high school girls who convinced NASA to send ladybugs to space!

Storytime begins at 11 am, followed by signing.
