My review:
This is about being whatever you want to be, overcoming the obstacles and aiming for the sky!
Rosie Revere is an inventor, cheered on by her great-great-aunt. When her flying machine crashes to the ground, Rosie is despondent. But it's not a failure, her aunt tells her. You only fail if you give up. So Rosie takes her new idea to her classmates and the fun begins.
It is a picture book, aimed at 5-7-year-olds, but it will appeal to any age group, bringing a smile to your face, a lightness to your heart, and hope for the future.
There are other books in this collection - 'Iggy Peck, Architect' and 'Ada Twist, Scientist' - as well as accompanying activity books.
