Counting down to The Nutcracker instead? There’s a pack for that too.
Seven pages. Black ink, plain paper, no special supplies.
A coloring page of Nova and her dog, straight from the book’s artwork.
A second coloring page — the whole scene, tent, tools, rocket and all.
Cut, roll, tape. Five steps, a pencil and a drinking straw, and it flies.
A blank launch stand. They draw what they’d build and name it themselves.
Two versions of the same backyard scene — find what’s different between them.
Wind through the places in the story to get from the shed to the launch pad.
Six rows to record what you changed, what you thought would happen, and what actually did. This is the one that turns a craft into an experiment.
Nova Knight, Rocketeer is a picture book about a girl who builds a rocket out of things other people threw away, including a shed door. It doesn’t work. She fixes it. It still doesn’t work. She writes down why, and tries again.
It was written by Juliet Novak, who is a kid herself, for readers ages 4 to 8.
