# Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty (Hardcover)

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. But when her contraption doesn’t fly but rather hovers for a moment and then crashes, Rosie deems the invention a failure. On the contrary, Aunt Rose insists that Rosie’s contraption was a raging success: you can only truly fail, she explains, if you quit.  
From the powerhouse author-illustrator team of _Iggy Peck, Architect_ comes _Rosie Revere, Engineer_, another charming, witty picture book about believing in yourself and pursuing your passion.  
  
**Praise for _Rosie Revere, Engineer_** "Comically detailed mixed-media illustrations that keep the mood light and emphasize Rosie’s creativity at every turn." —_Publishers Weekly_  
  
"The detritus of Rosie’s collections is fascinating, from broken dolls and stuffed animals to nails, tools, pencils, old lamps and possibly an erector set. And cheddar-cheese spray."  
—_Kirkus Reviews_  
  
"This celebration of creativity and perseverance is told through rhyming text, which gives momentum and steady pacing to a story, consistent with the celebration of its heroine, Rosie. She’s an imaginative thinker who hides her light under a bushel (well, really, the bed) after being laughed at for one of her inventions."
