Story

Izzy is a young inventor whose inventions don't always work. When they break, chaos and messes often occur. She decides that she has had enough and puts her toolbag away. When she finds a crow that has hurt itself after falling, the vet tells her it will never fly again. She tries to teach the crow how to live and have fun without flying, but he is extremely unhappy. Along comes grandpa. He is kind and encourages her to come up with something to help the crow fly. Even though her inventions don't work, grandpa and the crow keep encouraging her to try again. She finally comes up with the perfect wings for her friend. This exuberantly riotous story… blends the fun of rhyme with the touching friendship between a charismatic crow and a never-say-die young inventor’ Lancashire Evening Post

die ze mooier of beter of specialer kon maken. Haar gereedschapskist sjouwde ze overal mee,want ze kreeg elke dag wel een nieuw idee. Sara is dol op uitvinden, alleen mislukken haar maaksels altijd. En Sara heeft nogal een kort lontje, dus dan is het huis te klein.Ze gaat aan de slag om Kraai nieuwe vleugels te geven. En dat is nog niet zo makkelijk. Keer op keer gaat het mis. Zal Sara het vol kunnen houden en zal Kraai ooit weer met zijn vrienden het luchtruim veroveren? Izabelle Gizmo just loves to invent, but her inventions never seem to work the way she wants them to. And that makes her really CROSS! When she finds a crow with a broken wing she just has to help. But will she be able to put her frustrations to one side and help her new friend to fly again? Izzy Gizmo is a wonderful text for students who struggle with the current demand of 21st century skills like: flexibility, growth mindset, perseverance, resilience and creativity. Students empathize and connect with Izzy when she gets frustrated because she can’t solve a problem on the first (or second, or third) try. The true power of the book is the underlying theme of perseverance and digging your heels in when the problem is tough. You can fill a balloon and put a clothes peg on the end to stop the air coming out. Then put the balloon on its side, attach a straw, feed a piece of string through. When you release the clothes peg it should shoot across the string.
