About the Book

'A Day of Discovery at Chabot' tells the story of Mike, a curious little boy out to spend a day with his dad at a really fun place - The Chabot Space & Science Center!

Chabot Space & Science Center is a non-profit science center that serves Oakland and the greater Bay Area as a really fun place for STEM learning and engagement. It's mission is to inspire and educate learners of all ages about the Universe and Planet Earth.

Founded in 1883 as an astronomical observatory, Chabot is located on a beautiful 13 trail-laced acres in Oaklands Redwood Regional Park within the largest stand of coastal redwoods in the East Bay.

Perfect for bedtime stories and a great companion book for a before or after visit to Chabot, this book is filled with soft, pastel illustrations and moments from a memorable day.

A Little About Me, Siya

Hi, I'm Siya! I'm a new author and a lifelong lover of children's stories. I'm a High-school student, and my favorite part of the day has always been reading or writing stories.

I'm a Galaxy Explorer Mentor at the Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland. Inspired by my work guiding young explorers, I created this book to help kids remember and continue their learning adventures long after their visit.

My book follows Mike as he spends a full, unforgettable day of adventure exploring everything the Chabot Space & Science Center has to offer with his dad.

This book is for sale at Chabot Space and Science Center store - and if you want, you can order it with personalization! I can change the name & likeness of any characters, just provide the name and photo!

When I'm not writing or reading, I love to crochet, demonstrate experiments at Chabot, and doodling in my sketchbook. I sell my crochet patterns at Redbubble and Etsy.

This is my very first book, and I'm so excited to share it with you and your family. I hope it brings a little bit of joy to your storytime, too.
