Upcoming Events
Author Signing
Nook & Cranny Book Wagon Nook & Cranny Book Wagon is proud to host local children’s author Brittany Keith for a special book signing of her debut picture book, Elly the Electric Truck, on Sunday, May 25, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Riverside Market at Idlewild Park (2055 Idlewild Drive, Reno, NV 89509).
Elly the Electric Truck follows a determined electric semi-truck as she sets out on an exciting delivery adventure, outrunning fuel-powered vehicles and recharging after a day’s work. The story introduces young readers to electric vehicle technology and challenges traditional gender roles in a fun and inspiring way.
Keith is helping pave the way for women in trucking, using her book to challenge outdated stereotypes and inspire the next generation. A U.S. Navy veteran and the third generation in her family to build a career in the world of semi-trucks, Keith brings a unique perspective and deep industry experience to her storytelling.
The book will be available for $13 at the event. Brittany Keith will be on hand to meet families, take photos, and sign purchased copies of her book.
