From the publisher

Meet the girl with a big heart and a bigger imagination who grew up to be an innovative international designer in this illuminating nonfiction picture book biography.

Sara Little Turnbull was a curious child. Her creativity and curiosity led her to the world of design, a world of imagining, planning, and making useful--and beautiful--things. She grew up to become an acclaimed innovator whose creative and celebrated design solutions spanned the gamut from housewares and furniture to toys, finger foods, cake mixes, textiles, spacesuits--and to a new medical mask, which inspired the design for the masks we wear today.

Sometimes Sara's work was a tricky puzzle, and sometimes her ideas did not pan out like she'd planned, but she stuck with it, always hoping her designs would make the world a little bit better.

And...they did!
