Meet the Author:
As a former second grade and elementary art teacher, Lauren Piland is a Louisiana native turned Texas homesteader who knows the importance of engaging read-alouds both in class and at home. After taking a step back from the classroom to raise her second child, she realized the gap some campuses face between the undersupported emotional struggles of students and the overwhelming responsibilities of teachers. “When we can use tools such as books and relatable characters to open up those more meaningful conversations, both at home and in the classroom, it aids in that process of peeling back layers of getting to know each other better and building trust,” says Piland. “Children need to feel seen, feel heard, and feel protected. And we do that by tapping into our emotions.”
Piland also wanted to further support teachers by including ready-to-use, curriculum-based exercises to go along with each book that focus on learning objectives such as reading comprehension strategies, vocabulary building and word mechanics exercises, writing prompts, whole group projects and STEM exercises with differentiated versions for students in Pre-K all the way to fourth grade.

My Thoughts:
Rose is a little girl that is given a school project that just seems to her that it is impossible to accomplish. She must build a rocket for science class. Mulling it over, she decides to tell her family her dilemma. Her parents' reactions were on par. Rose has known about this project for a little while and is only telling them now much to her mom's consternation. Her dad on the other hand gives encouraging words and her little brother thinks it is all cool. That example was so great and reminded me of my own household, a good dose of the practical and the learning.
So, with the help of dad, Rose discovers that she can tackle this problem. Even if it fails, try again. In the end she realizes that she could do it, she only had to give it a try. She had fun with dad as a plus and next time maybe she will seek help from her parents sooner.
The artwork is vibrant and is full of many little details, like dad wearing a moon cycle shirt. This is a good story for kids to think outside of themselves and to not limit themselves in their own estimations. With a little help and ingenuity, you can accomplish your goals.
I was provided a copy of this book from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
