Why read it?
1 author picked A Girl Can Build Anything as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Celebrate girls who love to tinker and build! It begins with an idea for something big or small. Materials found, tools gathered, and building begins! If a creation wobbles or collapses, “failure isn’t final,” the book reassures.
I am grateful that my parents recognized my early love of woodworking and bought me a tool kit at a young age. This is the perfect picture book to pair with a set of tools for small hands!
From Patricia's list on The best picture books to encourage young girls to dream big.
