 Thank you Lerner Publishing for sending us a copy for review; all opinions are our own.  We love this book! The rhyming and catchy text take you on a making journey. The reader is challenged to be a maker from creating a tower to a rhythm to making a difference. The question at the end brings it altogether, \u201care you proud of what you made?\u201d The illustrations are beautiful in color, detail and diversity. A wonderful read for classroom bookaday or really anywhere\/anytime. After reading you will be inspired to make something! We were lucky enough to get the inside scoop from author, Katey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you give us an inside scoop that we wouldn\u2019t learn from reading your book? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d love to! BE A MAKER actually started as a list of ways we use the word \u201cmake\u201d in English. I was comparing it to other languages, thinking about how broad a meaning that one word carries, and how confusing that could be to non-native speakers. You could make a sandwich, and you could make a face, and the actions involved are so very different. Why would we use the same word?! When I switched from thinking about the verb \u201cto make<\/em>\u201d and instead considered the noun \u201cmaker<\/em>\u201d – it all seemed so much more intuitive. A maker<\/strong> has the power to add something to the world that wasn\u2019t there before, to change something that isn\u2019t working, to affect others\u2019 lives.  I asked my kids and scout troop what the word \u201cmaker\u201d meant to them – and so many of them immediately thought about robots and computers and engineering. \u201cMaker\u201d and \u201cMakerspace” had such strong tech vibes in their experience that they didn\u2019t really think beyond that. I wanted to find a way to broaden that image in their minds to include all sorts of creative endeavors – and BE A MAKER began to take shape.
