I received a review copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

I loved this book and the fabulous illustrations! BE A MAKER will be on my list of gift books for all you maker families we are so lucky to be connected to! It celebrates all the ways kids create, and invites kids and their grownups to slow down and appreciate all that creativity.⁣

Call all creators, inventors and designers - a book to get your creative juices flowing! A fun book to introduce the Makerspace area at the beginning of the year.

In bouncy rhyming text, this book encourages young readers to be makers every day and it demonstrates lots of ways that kids can be makers. Make a snack to share with a friend, make a tower, make an imaginary universe inside your head. It's sweet and would be a good addition to a makerspace.

This book is so lyrical to read aloud and inspiring to ponder, 'what will you make'? The illustrations are full of the magic of childhood and the mess of creation - but altogether beautiful. The spirit of friendship and community naturally ties into the story and makes the book even richer. BE A MAKER will surely spark young readers to ask themselves 'what will i make'?

This book is awesome! I can't wait to see how this can used to support our Makerspace assignments. Reminds me of Clark...
