A beautifully-illustrated tale of a girl and her dream to become a great engineer. Where some people see rubbish, Rosie Revere sees inspiration. Alone in her room at night, shy Rosie constructs great inventions from odds and ends.
Hot dog dispensers, helium pants, python-repelling cheese hats. Rosie’s gizmos would astound—if she ever let anyone see them.
Afraid of failure, she hides them away under her bed. Until a fateful visit from her great-great-aunt Rose, who shows her that a first flop isn’t something to fear—it’s something to celebrate.
Excellent for use in:
- STEM
- Common Core
- Next-Gen Science Standards

Reviews
Rosie should indeed be revered: why, shes practically a poster girl for positivity and empowerment. And were all in favour of gals excelling in the STEM subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Way to go, Rosie! Catherine ODolan My Little Style File
"The words and pictures are equally beautiful. The story is inspiring and Rosie is awesome!" Magpie That Blog
"A fantastic read aloud, this story has much more to recommend it to a class teacher. The story is an excellent way into discussions about persevering, learning from mistakes and not being daunted by the opinions of others." North Somerset Teachers' Book Award
