Reach for this book when your child is met with skepticism or 'no' from peers while pursuing a big, creative project. It is an essential tool for children who feel different or misunderstood because of their lofty ambitions and high energy. Zelda is a spunky hen who decides she is going to be the first chicken in space. Despite her coop-mates telling her that chickens can't fly, she systematically plans her mission, builds a rocket from barnyard scraps, and trains for zero gravity. This story models how to handle social rejection with grace and focus. It is perfectly suited for preschoolers and early elementary students, providing a humorous yet empowering look at grit, self-reliance, and the technical steps of the engineering process.
