About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling discouraged by a project that just won't work or when they seem captivated by the 'junk' in the garage. It is a perfect choice for the young inventor who needs to see that even the most eccentric dreams are worth pursuing. The story follows Yanosh, an eccentric builder who is just one tiny piece away from finishing a marvelous flying machine. When two children provide the missing nut, they are whisked away on a whimsical, slightly absurd journey to find a hidden island. This book celebrates the intersection of engineering and imagination. It beautifully illustrates how a small act of kindness can unlock a world of wonder. While the plot involves a high-flying adventure, the emotional core is about the validation of a child's inner world and the joy of collaborative problem-solving. It is a gentle, humorous read that encourages children to look at everyday objects as potential components for their next great discovery.
