About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has a bold, creative idea but feels discouraged by others saying it is impossible or too difficult.

The story follows George Ferris as he pitches a massive, never before seen engineering marvel for the 1893 World's Fair, facing skeptics at every turn. Through simple text and engaging illustrations, the book explores themes of perseverance, technical innovation, and the courage to be different. It is highly appropriate for early elementary readers, offering a historical perspective on the importance of grit. You might choose this book to help a child understand that today's common wonders often started as one person's 'crazy' dream.
