I really like this book and would add it to my class library. I think that if I were to read it, I would have to find another book that is similar to a boys can do anything type of book. More than likely, I would get it simply for my library.
so-soThis book written by e. E. Charlton-Trujillo and Pat Zietlow Miller is quite the inspiring tale that empowers girls to be creating and build. The book inspires young readers to do what inspires them and whether it is tinkering or welding, this story empowers girls to think BIG!
