Description

See below for English description.

Tous les élèves semblent avoir trouvé une idée géniale pour leurs projets de classe, sauf Yasmin! Toutes les bonnes idées sont déjà prises. Heureusement, elle a un éclair de génie durant la récréation! Yasmin se met aussitôt à l'œuvre et crée un projet qui rassemble tous les élèves de la classe.

Faites la rencontre de Yasmin, une élève enjouée de 2e année qui est toujours à la recherche de solutions pour régler les problèmes auxquels elle fait face. S'inspirant de son environnement et de son imagination, Yasmin est prête à relever n'importe quel défi! À la fois créative et curieuse, cette exploratrice d'origine pakistanaise inspirera et émerveillera les jeunes lecteurs.

 

Everyone seems to have a great idea for the makerspace project, everyone except for Yasmin! All the good ideas are taken. Luckily, recess solves everything! Inspiration strikes and Yasmin creates something that brings the whole class together.

Meet Yasmin! Yasmin is a spirited second-grader who's always on the lookout for those "aha" moments to help her solve life's little problems. Taking inspiration from her surroundings and her big imagination, she boldly faces any situation — assuming her imagination doesn't get too big, of course! A creative thinker and curious explorer, Yasmin and her multi-generational Pakistani American family will delight and inspire readers.

Original title: Yasmin the Builder

Editorial Reviews

 

Éloge pour la série :

« Illustrée par Hatem Aly, Yasmin, une fillette aux yeux grands ouverts et au style flamboyant (collants rayés, sarrau de peintre à pois, bottes de cowboy rouges), attirera les lecteurs débutants. » ~ Publishers Weekly

 

Praise for the series:

"In brightly colored artwork by Aly, Yasmin’s wide-eyed expressions and flamboyant style (striped tights, a polka-dotted painter’s smock, red cowgirl boots) lend her great appeal." ~ Publishers Weekly
