Author Chandra Donelson Visits the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH - May 9, 2025 - PRLog -- Author Chandra Donelson visited the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh to read her bestselling children's book, The Data Detective at the Carnival, to a group of approximately 50 children.

The event introduced young learners to early data literacy concepts through an engaging story about William, a curious boy on a mission to become a data detective like his mom. Set in a lively carnival, the book helps children explore how data is used in everyday life through real-world examples of problem-solving and critical thinking.

After the reading, Donelson held a brief discussion with the children, answering questions and encouraging them to think about the many ways they already use data.

As part of her Inspiration Library initiative, Donelson donated signed copies of the book to each attending teacher and to the museum's education team, ensuring the story will continue to reach students beyond the event.

"The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh was the perfect setting to share this story," said Donelson. "It's a place where learning and creativity go hand in hand, and that's exactly what data literacy should feel like—curious, hands-on, and fun."

The visit is part of Donelson's ongoing national book tour to make data literacy more accessible for children and educators through storytelling.
