Abby is a problem-solver and persistent inventor. We love the refrain the teacher uses to affirm Abby’s inventiveness. We collect and use children’s books that launch invention thinking and this is our #1 go to! Highly recommend!”★★★★★ “My son did not want to stop reading this book and wanted me to get him Abby’s unbreakable crayons: ). I told him to make his own LOL. As I adult I had fun reading this inspiring story. This is a great book to inspire your little ones to solve problems and realize that they can create things, and failing is OK and just part of the process.”★★★★★ “This is a wonderful story about innovation and perseverance and it is important in the role models it depicts. My two sons love this book and we read it weekly, so keep in mind that while there is certainly a lot about this book to inspire girls, it’s a great book for boys too. And it’s important for little boys to see a range of role models in STEM to challenge societal biases about what a typical innovator looks like.”
