Rosie Revere, Engineer

　　蘿西在白天是一個安靜的女孩，但到了晚上，當她獨自一人在她的房間時，那些別人眼中的垃圾卻是她一個個從雜物做出來的發明靈感。害羞的蘿西因為怕別人的異樣眼光，不敢讓任何人看到她這些小玩意，像是熱狗掌櫃、氦氣褲等，但她也未因此就放棄發明。

　　直到一天，神奇的事發生了，她的羅斯阿姨來探訪她，提醒她還有一個目標尚未達成：打造飛行器！蘿西建造了一個機器想讓夢想成真，但卻失敗了。當她正喪氣時，羅斯阿姨卻告訴她：這個發明其實很成功喔！因為，只有當我們因害怕失敗而不再嘗試時，才算是真正的失敗。經過這件事所學習到的精神，讓蘿西打從內心成為一位真正的工程師了！【文∕博客來外文館】

In this beloved New York Times bestselling picture book, meet Rosie Revere, a seemingly quiet girl by day but a brilliant inventor of gizmos and gadgets by night.

Rosie dreams of becoming a great engineer, and her room becomes a secret workshop where she constructs ingenious inventions from odds and ends. From hot dog dispensers to helium pants and python-repelling cheese hats, Rosie’s creations would astound anyone--if only she’d let them see.

But Rosie is afraid of failure, so she hides her inventions under her bed. That is, until her great-great-aunt Rose (also known as Rosie the Riveter) pays her a visit. Aunt Rose teaches Rosie that the first flop isn’t something to fear; it’s something to celebrate. Failure only truly happens if you quit. And so, Rosie learns to embrace her passion, celebrate her missteps, and pursue her dreams with persistence.

This empowering picture book encourages young readers to explore their creativity, persevere through challenges, and celebrate the journey toward achieving their goals. Whether you’re a budding engineer or simply love stories of resilience, Rosie Revere, Engineer is a delightful read for all ages.

Add this inspiring tale to your family library and discover the magic of celebrating each failure on the road to success. Don’t miss the book that the Duchess of York recently chose to read aloud at a Literally Healing visit to a children’s hospital.
