This simple, layered story celebrates creativity through beautiful rhyming verse and vibrant illustrations with a timely message. "Turning the page is an acceptance of the book creators challenge—a decision to put passive consumption and inpatient expectancy on the shelf and instead invite your hands to do, to transform and, above all, to MAKE." —Anitra Rowe Schulte "Together the text and the illustrations create an excellent read that will empower readers to reflect on their own lives and make a change or two or three. . . . This is more than just a book about making and engineering: Make an excellent choice to add this to the shelves."—Kirkus Reviews Author Biography Katey Howes loved writing books for children. She was the author of the picture books Magnolia Mudd and the Super Jumptastic Launcher Deluxe, Grandmother Thorn, Be a Maker, and Rissy No Kissies which was named a Kirkus Best Childrens Book, a Rise: A Feminist Book Project List book, and a Keystone to Reading Book Award Nominee. Elizabet Vukovi grew up around makers in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Her mom introduced her to making with fabrics. She and her sister accompanied their dad on many trips to the hardware store for his constant home renovation projects, and her sister continues to use Elizabet as her guinea pig for many outrageous inventions. Elizabet graduated with a degree in optometry before deciding to go back to school for illustration in San Francisco, where she currently resides. Review "While the idea of children creating is not new, this book stands out. With the subtle odes to famous makers and innovators in the illustrations, and the rhythm of the words, this book is an inspiring choice for story time or one-on-one sharing."—School Library Journal Review Quote "The book asks, In a world of possibilities, today, what will you make? From there, we see a young girl of color, armed with an imagination and a drive to build, create one thing after another, from small towers of toys to a playground that everyone can share. The words are written in rhyme, providing a satisfying flow throughout the book. The illustrations are full of details and beautiful colors, including the girls bedroom covered in posters and books of famous people in history who are known for their innovations. Each creation the girl builds is made more elaborate through her imagination. Together, the words and the illustrations provide an encouraging story that one is capable of anything they set their mind to. VERDICT While the idea of children creating is not new, this book stands out. With the subtle odes to famous makers and innovators in the illustrations, and the rhythm of the words, this book is an inspiring choice for story time or one-on-one sharing."--School Library Journal Feature * Simple rhyming text is accessible and perfect for a young picture-book audience * Ties in with the makerspace movement in schools and libraries * Great for reading aloud * Empowers young readers to enact change and work for good * Will appeal to fans of books like The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires Description for Press or Other Media * Simple rhyming text is accessible and perfect for a young picture-book audience * Ties in with the makerspace movement in schools and libraries * Great for reading aloud * Empowers young readers to enact change and work for good * Will appeal to fans of books like The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires Details ISBN1512498025 Author Elizabet Vukovi Pages 32 Year 2019 ISBN-10 1512498025 ISBN-13 9781512498028 Format Hardcover Place of Publication Minneapolis Country of Publication United States Illustrations Illustrations, color Publisher Lerner Publishing Group Language English Publication Date 2019-03-05 AU Release Date 2019-03-05 NZ Release Date 2019-03-05 US Release Date 2019-03-05 UK Release Date 2019-03-05 Audience Age 4-9 Audience Children / Juvenile Illustrator Elizabet Vukovi Imprint Lerner Publishing Group Alternative 9781541541788 DEWEY [E] We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
