Overview

Sketch, Ask, Build-A Curious Kid's Guide to Big Ideas What if a simple sketch could spark a soaring idea? Meet Leonardo as a curious kid who looked closely, asked bold questions, and turned brave tries into discoveries. This engaging, black-and-white, cartoon-illustrated book invites readers ages 3-8 to think like an artist and test like an inventor-at home, in class, or on the go. What's inside: - Five fast chapters-Draw, Question, Build, Fail/Learn, Fly?-told in lively, kid-friendly scenes. - Hands-on ""try it"" moments that use everyday materials (paper, tape, string, coins) with simple safety notes. - Clear, confidence-building steps for fair tests and small improvements. - ""Words to know"" that grow art, science, and maker vocabulary. Kids will learn to: - Look first, then sketch what they see-shapes, shadows, and motion. - Turn wonder into smart, testable ""What if?"" questions. - Build simple prototypes like paper bridges, spinners, gears, and gliders. - Use mistakes as maps-change one thing, test again, and celebrate progress. - Explore lift and balance by watching birds, seeds, kites, and their own paper flyers. Why families and teachers love it Short sections, memorable scenes, and repeatable activities make this an inviting read-aloud or independent read. It nurtures observation, creativity, resilience, and early STEAM thinking-showing that every big idea starts with a little ""Why?""
