Description

An Engineer Like Me is a delightful picture book that takes young readers on an inspiring journey through the world of engineering, guided by the inquisitive character Zara. Accompanied by her gran, Zara explores her vibrant city, uncovering an array of remarkable engineering marvels, from thrilling roller coasters to soaring airplanes. Each page is filled with engaging illustrations that bring to life the wonders of engineering.

The Plot

As Zara encounters various engineering feats, she learns about the brilliant minds behind these creations. The narrative not only introduces influential engineers but also encourages children to imagine themselves as inventors. With a strong emphasis on creativity and curiosity, Zara’s adventures ignite a passion for problem-solving and innovation.

Interactive Elements

The book features interactive pages where children are invited to participate in simple engineering experiments. These hands-on activities, such as crafting a paper aeroplane and conducting an egg drop challenge, foster a sense of achievement and encourage practical learning.

Themes

  • Curiosity: Zara’s inquisitive nature inspires readers to ask questions and seek answers.
  • Creativity: The book promotes imaginative thinking and the joy of invention.
  • Empowerment: Young readers are encouraged to explore their potential in the field of engineering.
"An engaging introduction to engineering for young minds, filled with fun and discovery."

Readers who enjoyed Rosie Revere, Engineer or What Do You Do With an Idea? will find Zara's story equally enchanting and motivating. An Engineer Like Me is a celebration of creativity and the endless possibilities within the world of engineering.
