A joyful celebration of curiosity, making, and perseverance, Mini's Red Book follows a creative young inventor who journals her ideas, builds bold prototypes (from a wind-powered one-wheel car to a classroom "smart board"), and keeps going even when others laugh-until an inspired art teacher and the principal recognise her talent. With striking mixed-media, photographed illustrations, this unique picture book champions girl power in STEAM, invites hands-on creativity at home and school, and models how imaginative thinking can become real-world solutions. This book is ideal for introducing the maker mindset and STEAM inspiration in classrooms, libraries, and family read-alouds-sparking kids to design, test, and keep creating.

Cognitive Development

- Encourages design thinking and problem-solving (imagine → make → test → improve), shown through Mini's inventions like a wind-powered car and DIY "smart board."

- Builds early STEM understanding and systems thinking (mechanisms, cause-and-effect, renewable energy, floating city ideas).

- Strengthens planning and persistence as Mini turns journal ideas into real 3D models.

Socio-Emotional Development

- Models resilience and growth mindset-Mini keeps creating even when others laugh, and later receives encouragement from her teacher and principal.

- Builds self-confidence by showing that children's ideas can be valued and celebrated.

Early Literacy Development

- Encourages real writing through Mini's journaling, inspiring children to keep their own "red book".

- Repeated prompts ("What might Mini do next?") support prediction, inference, and oral storytelling; sound words help phonological awareness.

- Clear picture-text links in the mixed-media art help comprehension, especially for early or multilingual readers.

Physical Development (Fine Motor)

- Inspires hands-on making (gathering materials, building models), which supports fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
