Rosie Revere, Engineer: A Picture Book

Rosie’s inventive ideas begin in a bedroom workshop, where everyday odds and ends become unusual gadgets. After an early embarrassment makes her reluctant to show what she has made, a visit from her great-great-aunt Rose brings a shared engineering challenge into the story. The book connects invention with the willingness to learn from setbacks and keep experimenting, placing creativity and persistence within a family relationship. Its humorous premise and focus on making things give the picture-book narrative a clear STEM thread without turning it into a technical guide.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in inventing, engineering, or making things.
  • Families and educators looking for a picture book that opens conversations about creativity and trying again.
  • Fans of the Questioneers picture-book series.

Book overview

A beloved New York Times bestselling picture book that celebrates creativity, curiosity, and the courage to keep trying, from the award-winning team of Andrea Beaty and David Roberts.

Rosie Revere may seem quiet during the day, but at night she's a brilliant inventor. In her bedroom workshop, she dreams up extraordinary gadgets and gizmos using odds and ends, from helium pants to snake-repelling cheese hats.

But after an early embarrassment, Rosie becomes afraid to share her creations and hides her inventions from the world.

Everything changes when her great-great-aunt Rose, a former Rosie the Riveter, arrives with an ambitious challenge. Together, they discover that setbacks are not signs of failure, but important steps on the path to success. What matters most is having the courage to keep creating, learning, and trying again.

Filled with Andrea Beaty's lively rhyming text and David Roberts's imaginative illustrations, Rosie Revere, Engineer is an inspiring STEM picture book that encourages children to embrace curiosity, think creatively, solve problems, and believe in the power of persistence.

Perfect for aspiring engineers, makers, inventors, and dreamers of every age.

For more STEM-themed adventures, check out other titles by Andrea Beaty and David Roberts, including Ada Twist, Scientist, Iggy Peck, Architect, and Rosie Revere and the Raucous Riveters.
