Ishara reports on her adventures at the National Book Festival organized by the Library of Congress in Washington DC! At the festival, she met author and journalist Julia Lyon, who wrote the book "A Dinosaur Named Ruth: How Ruth Mason Discovered Fossils in Her Own Backyard." In her book, Ms. Julia shares the amazing true story of a young girl who never stopped asking questions and followed a trail of clues to reveal an undiscovered world right under her own feet!

Join Ishara as she reads aloud this inspiring story about a fellow girl scientist whose curiosity and determination forever changed the way we view our earth's past!
