BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL.
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
This empowering book showcases six girls transforming their ideas into plans and their plans into reality as they build and create. The reader gets to watch the girls grow up throughout childhood and into young adulthood, building all along the way and showing what they’re capable of. Although the story is told in simple words and phrases, almost every two-page spread includes words of encouragement and empowering sentiment. I especially enjoyed the pages that showed sometimes our ideas are a flop but you can just take a breath, take a break and try again “Because failure isn’t final. It’s where new ideas are made.” This is a great girl power story, but is also a great STEM story for all kids to enjoy!
I love the bright bold illustrations that include subtle backgrounds with graphing paper and measuring tapes. The girls have a variety of skin and hair colors and represent a diverse group of friends.
