Be A Maker by Katey Howes & Elizabet Vukovic (Picture Book Review)

Be A Maker
by Katey Howes
Illustrated by Elizabet Vukovic
Published by Carolrhoda Books

Length: 32 pages
Ages: 4-9 years

How many things can you make in a day? A tower, a friend, a change? Rhyme, repetition, and a few seemingly straightforward questions engage young readers in a discussion about the many things we make--and the ways we can make a difference in the world. This simple, layered story celebrates creativity through beautiful rhyming verse and vibrant illustrations with a timely message. 

My Thoughts:
Are you a maker? Do you build or draw or imagine? 

Be A Maker is incredibly fun and energetic! The illustrations are bright and colorful with lots of neat things to catch the eye. 

This is the perfect storybook for those kids who just can't sit still and have to build and draw and make whatever they get their hands on! 


I especially love that this book starts out celebrating being a maker by showing you all the things you might try to do or build or create, and then moves on to show how building and making things can better your community!
