Publisher's Synopsis
Inventing at the Beach is part of a series called "Hadi's Adventures", through which we aim to achieve the following goals:
- Encourage children to develop critical thinking skills and think creatively in order to proactively solve problems, to work hard, and to think scientifically. This is accomplished using an inquiry based approach, through sharing the stories and experiences of children who solve problems they face in their daily lives by taking positive action. There are inquiry based questions included at the end of the book to promote further exploration and problem solving skills.
- Promoting character education through the story by incorporating values such as compassion, gratitude, generosity, etc.
- Representing a diversity of children in children's books which will enable children from all backgrounds to increasingly relate to and therefore accept and develop friendships with diverse children.
- Provide positive female role models for young girls to encourage interest in science, mathematics, and being innovative.
- Show examples of tolerance and coexistence between members of society regardless of their faith or beliefs, while focusing on universal values and ethics. In turn, we hope children will thrive in a diverse and pluralistic society by developing global citizenship which entails a respect for diversity and working with others to make the world a more equitable place.
