Be a Maker

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
