“Design thinking at its best! Great for families to read to promote experiences of seeing the world around them as opportunities to learn.”
Gracie: The Maker introduces us to Edie, Gracie’s newest friend. Together, Edie and Gracie create a machine to feed their class pet, Turbo the tortoise. The girls must work together to plan and design, test and retest their invention. It will take teamwork and perseverance. Will Gracie and Edie figure out a way to help Turbo?
“Gracie: The Maker articulately demonstrates the curiosity and thirst for learning in our young people. With a focus on collaboration, these two girls demonstrate 21st century fluencies and showcase what it means to take risks in their learning. This book is a must have for all elementary classrooms!”
“Gracie: The Maker seamlessly continues where Daphne McMenemy’s first book, Gracie, ends. Gracie and her new friend demonstrate problem solving, perseverance and most of all, collaboration in their best forms. Great for families to read to promote experiences of seeing the world around them as opportunities to learn about. These books are also great for educators to share with students to launch actions toward becoming problem identifiers and solution creators.”
“Another fabulous book by Daphne McMenemy. Gracie and her friends teach children the importance of persevering to solve problems while collaborating with each other. All the books in the Gracie series are valuable to educators in demonstrating to their students how to be problem solvers who learn from their mistakes.”
