This is the newest book by the same author.

Noticing by Kobi Yamada was the perfect read in the quiet of the morning on the day after my father took his flight from this world. May we all take the time to “pause and allow for the extraordinary“ that this beautiful life offers!

tpixie So sorry for your loss. Hugs 🤗 I‘m glad you found some comfort in reading. 🩵 7mo

Rosie Revere, Engineer | Andrea Beaty

This is an important book as it helps the students think about the importance of trial and error and if we fail at first, we must try again and work hard to accomplish our goals.

This story talks about a young girl that looked up to her aunt that showed her how she can use her imagination to create and form inventions that will make an impact on the world. She learns how to create more inventions that will be useful and how to make them work.

I wasn't in quite the right mood for this book (I've already been chewing on a lot of these ideas, and I really don't get into dance, which made up a good bit of the mastery discussion and took me back to a very uncomfortable ADF I attended in the early aughts), but I appreciate what Lewis is doing here. I also really like the concept of "nimble grit," the idea that persistence is incredibly valuable, but so is knowing when to pivot.

Rosie wanted to be a great engineer when someone laughed at one of her inventions. She then hides her tinkering away. She gets brave and tries to make something else for her aunt. She fails but her aunt convinces her to try again.

Delightful. Told in sing song rhymes with fun pictures. Echoes of Rosie the Riveter down to her kerchief.

Petroski writes about engineering in clear language that even non engineers can understand. His exploration of such disasters as the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and the Hyatt Regency elevated walkways and non disasters like the Brooklyn Bridge illustrate how engineering design often operates at the limits of our knowledge. Consequently, mistakes will be made, assumptions will be wrong, because engineers are imperfect humans.
