And when Fatima Al Kaabi didn’t have anyone willing to teach her about robotics, she turned to the Internet to teach herself all the skills she needed - and created multiple crowd-pleasing robots in the process.Whether it was solving daily problems, protecting the environment, helping others, or just for fun, the thirty-five kid inventors in this book each created something amazing, and proved that even the youngest people can change the world.

That didn’t stop him from sitting down at his grandma’s table and picking up a needle and thread.Patrick loved the way clothes could make someone feel their best, and he dreamed of creating designs full of joy and whimsy. Those dreams brought him to some of the biggest cities in the world, but when he got there, he was told that his clothes were too vibrant, too tacky, and too much!When the fashion world rejected his designs, Patrick just laughed and carried right on working. He created clothes for people like him, outsiders who didn’t grow up fitting in but weren’t afraid to stand out. He filled his designs with love, and when the world finally recognized his talent, they couldn’t help but smile.
