Bailey Harris: My Name Is Stardust
FFRF
Bailey Harris is a remarkable 12-year-old author who is on a mission to inspire a love of science and a sense of wonder about the universe. Bailey's "Stardust" series of books for young readers was co-written with her father, Douglas. Bailey talks about how the bullying she endured in a small Utah school influenced her to start writing The Book of Truth (to counter The Book of Mormon), her book's original title. Bailey and Douglas developed a story to teach children the concept from Carl Sagan's famous line that we are all "star stuff" along with evolution and astronomy.
