Inventive illustrations and an empowering story combine to introduce young readers to the world of engineering, creative thinking and problem-solving. Zara is curious about everything! Travelling around the city with her gran, she sees all kinds of fascinating things. How do roller coasters do loop-the-loops? How do planes stay up? As she marvels about how they work, Zara learns about some of the brilliant engineers who have shaped the world around her. Soon she can't wait to start creating her own amazing inventions and become an engineer too! With pages encouraging kids to try out their very own engineering experiments such as constructing the perfect paper aeroplane and safely dropping an egg from a height, this brilliant picture book written by engineer and TV presenter Dr Shini Somara unlocks a love of engineering and celebrates women in STEM. The first book in an exciting new series. Still to come: - A Scientist Like Me - A Coder Like Me - A Mathematician Like Me

I think this book is a very long book, it had a lot of information inside it, like how a plane flys. I liked this book because it tells you about how things are made and how they work. I would recommend this book to my class

I liked the way the story followed Zara and her Gran, and explained how everyday things work. It also explained Hedy Lemarr developed the use of radio waves which were then used by the military. Leonardo da Vinci invented the cart, the parachute and winged flying machine but never actually got to build it. It asked lots of interesting questions which made me think about lots of thinks. I would recommend this to someone.
