Rosie Revere, Engineer By Andrea Beaty & David Roberts

From the powerhouse author/illustrator of Iggy Peck, Architect comes Rosie Revere, Engineer, another charming, witty picture book about pursuing your passion.  Rosie may seem quiet during the day, but at night she’s a brilliant inventor of gizmos and gadgets who dreams of becoming a great engineer.  When her Great, Great Aunt Rose (Rosie the Riveter) comes for a visit and mentions her one unfinished goal – to fly – Rosie sets to work building a contraption to make her aunt’s dream come true.  Her invention complete, Rosie attempts a test flight but after a moment the machine crashes to the ground.  Discouraged, Rosie deems the invention a failure, but Aunt Rose insists that on the contrary, it was a raging success.  You can only truly fail, she explains, if you quit.  Reassured, Rosie returns to her engineering and inspires her classmates to join in the fun.
