description: Jabari is inventing a machine that will fly all the way across the yard! But making it go from CRASH to WHOOSH will take grit patience and maybe even a little help from his sister.Jabari is making a flying machine in his backyard! Itll be easy. I dont need any help he declares. But it doesnt work! Jabari is frustrated. Good thing Dad is there for a pep talk and his little sister Nika is there to assist fairy wings and all. With the endearing father-child dynamic of Jabari Jumps and engaging mixed-media illustrations Gaia Cornwalls tale shows that through perseverance and flexibility an inventive thought can become a brilliant reality.
