Rosa is back with more of her STEM enthusiasm! She and her friends -Roman, Gina and Mali- are building little bridges in the sand. But, can they make one which is wide, strong and stable enough to get their toy HGVs across a small stream? How about a suspension bridge made of seaweed or an arch made of sand? Just as they’ve settled on a bucket/wood combination, Snowy the Dog needs rescuing from a mini island. Have they got the engineering skills they need to get across to him? 
 
Part of a series designed to inspire a lifelong love of STEM subjects with a girl of colour -Rosa- as protagonist. Ideally suited to creator Jessica Spanyol’s always-light and comic touch. ‘I loved it. Really good story, lovely characters with lovely names. Equality, friendship negotiation in action’ (Meryl, EY Consultant & Trainer, Letterbox Library  reviewer). ‘Lovely to see children experimenting and problem solving through play- good to have a girl taking the lead’ (Carey, Childminder, Letterbox Library reviewer).  [Black lead character; different ethnicities; Roman wears tinted glasses]. Age 3-6, Hard cover/card pages 16pp
