Jabari Tries by Gaia Cornwall

Jabari is inventing a machine that will fly all the way across the yard! But making it go from CRASH to WHOOSH will take grit, patience, and maybe even a little help from his sister.

"A fabulous story for little inventors." Children's Books Ireland

"Jabari’s emotional ups and downs will be familiar to young children, and his hard-won success feels triumphant." Kirkus Review, Starred Review

Jabari is making a flying machine in his backyard! “It’ll be easy. I don’t need any help,” he declares. But it doesn’t work! Jabari is frustrated. Good thing Dad is there for a pep talk and his little sister, Nika, is there to assist, fairy wings and all. With the endearing father-child dynamic of Jabari Jumps and engaging mixed-media illustrations, Gaia Cornwall’s tale shows that through perseverance and flexibility, an inventive thought can become a brilliant reality.

Don't miss Jabari tackling the diving board in Jabari Jumps as he learns to face his fears.

A fabulous story for little inventors who feel frustrated by external limitations, with some subtle coping mechanisms embedded in it* Children's Books Ireland - Mind Yourself *
