[E]mpower[s] readers to dream - and build - big in this book boasting a cast of construction-capable girls... affirming text kicks off with "a vision./ A sketch./ And a plan"... Acknowledging that some projects may lean, wobble, or completely collapse, growth-mindset lines invite creators to return to the drawing board.
