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.
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.
