the Book….
Girls Who Build features candid and arresting photographs of forty-five girls showing off their power tools and can-do attitudes. Accompanying each girl is a profile interview where she speaks to her inspirations and favorite builds, plus tips for others starting out. Also included are building skills, techniques, and safety tips to teach girls — and older beginners — how to handle hammers, drills, and saws plus thirteen do-it-herself building projects (from the featured girls themselves) such as picture frames, nightstands, playhouses, and more.
the Making….
Over the course of the last few years, Girls Build™ founder Katie Hughes has been traveling North America interviewing and photographing girls who build. Girls Who Build showcases girls who hammer, drill, pour concrete, solder, bend sheet metal, wire projects and do anything they set their hearts on.
Read about these amazing girls and learn to build 13 of their projects. With a how-to guide and full glossary, this book will help anyone take the first step in building.
All proceeds go to The Girls Build Scholarship Fund!
“Such a great resource for girls, and women, too, who are curious and want to learn. I wish I had this book when I was younger!”
