A young Black girl builds confidence in her engineering skills as she helps an injured crow fly again in this vibrant, STEAM-infused tale of determination, ingenuity, and friendship.

Izzy Gizmo's inventions are marvelous, magnificent...and often malfunction. Despite the fact that she loves to invent, it never seems to work out in her favor. But when she finds a crow with a broken wing, she has to help!

Izzy tries again and again to build the crow a new pair of wings, but nothing is working. Can Izzy overcome her failures? Or is her friend destined to live as a crow who can't fly?

Author Pip Jones tells an inspiring story of creativity and perseverance in the face of failure while spotlighting friendship and intergenerational relationships. Bright, zany art from the acclaimed Sara Ogilvie adds to the zeal.
Izzy is a girl who loves inventing machines that help out; you name it, and she's invented it. One day, a crow breaks its wing, and she is determined to help him out with her inventions because no crow should be bored when he can't fly. Sadly, she does not succeed right away, but soon learns not to give up thanks to her grandpa's great advice. Frustrations ensue, but through hard work and dedication, Izzy is able to succeed in the end. The vibrant illustrations are lively and pair well with the story. The bright pops of color make the artwork vivid and appealing. The text is full of challenging new words for young readers and the text rhymes, which allows the story to flow in a fun, inventive way. VERDICT The theme of not giving up after a first, second, and third failure will resonate with readers of all ages. This book will inspire kids to get out there and to try new things.—Maeve Dodds, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, NC

"The bright pops of color make the artwork vivid and appealing. The text is full of challenging new words for young readers and the text rhymes, which allows the story to flow in a fun, inventive way. The theme of not giving up after a first, second, and third failure will resonate with readers of all ages.

"This story of a girl engineer is sorely needed and has potential to develop and nourish readers' interest in STEAM subjects. Additionally, themes of creativity and tenacity, together with the portrayal of a girl who's allowed to show anger and frustration, make this a worthwhile read. Fun, with depth.""—Kirkus Reviews

如何教孩子閱讀/寫作 低年級(jí)寫作從每天一句話寫起,頭腦風(fēng)暴

我覺得一年級(jí)孩子不著急去做閱讀理解,多閱讀,讓孩子猜下頁劇情,討論。親子共讀,仔細(xì)看圖,愉快就好。文字書也可以猜劇情,家長(zhǎng)找些拓展的視頻或者同作者其他書來讀。推薦《群文讀本》同類比較,書里提出的里面的問題都很智慧的??磮D寫話,我摸索的方式就是先錄音(我家孩子寫字慢,不愛寫字)。讓孩子先觀察圖里面有哪些元素,時(shí)間地點(diǎn)人物事件起因經(jīng)過結(jié)尾。讓她用自己的話描述。錄下來轉(zhuǎn)化成文字。先把事情說明白,再仿寫或者擴(kuò)句子。增加描寫的內(nèi)容。我覺得低年級(jí)先...
