We just added this new book to our library and I t We just added this new book to our library and I think you’re going to love it, too!

Meet Mazie McGear, a girl who loves to engineer! Whenever she finds a problem, she turns on her imagination and then starts drawing and building. 

Hungry dog?
Mazie creates The Food-o-Matic! 

Heavy boxes need moving?
Here comes the Roly-Ramp!

Sleepy Sibling?
Try The Waker-Upper Rocket Machine!
(P.S. Mazie’s brother is NOT a fan 🤣)

And when the dog gets stuck on the roof, the whole family joins in on the invention action!

This book would be a great addition to your STEM/STEAM book collection. It is sure to inspire future engineers and problem solvers to find out-of-the box solutions to their everyday lives. The dynamic illustrations also include a fun, fold-out spread along with a quick guide to Mazie’s six simple machines. Swipe to take a peek inside!

“Even the smallest can help make the biggest cha “Even the smallest can help make the biggest change.”

In this story, the smallest turtles have always climbed on top of the biggest turtles to reach the freshest fruit. The big turtles would eat the fallen berries which were often sour and rotten. It’s just the way it’s always been. But Littlest Turtle doesn’t think that’s fair, so he makes a plan to change the way things are done. But can he get the rest of the turtles to agree?

This new picture book shares an important message about using your voice to speak up for what is fair and right. Swipe to take a peek inside!

Where were the picture book biographies when I was Where were the picture book biographies when I was growing up? Sharing the stories of others through picture books offers kids a glimpse into the accomplishments and lives of others in an engaging and meaningful way. It allows kids to see the potential of big dreams, hard work, and overcoming obstacles, while also helping them broaden their knowledge of the world around them. And when kids connect with the person whose story is being told, they are bound to find even more books about them to learn more. 

Here are three new picture book biographies to check out. Thank you to the publishers for these #gifted copies!  Swipe to take a peek inside each book.

And all of that magic is on display in this beautifully written and illustrated book that follows one book’s journey through the hands of many different readers.
