Summary:
Girls
Who
Build
is the how-to book that celebrates the can-do attitude of dozens of fierce
girls
who
know how to wield a hammer, fire up a saw, and
build
everything from a bookshelf to a playhouse. Filled with photographs of the
girls
and their work, this guide will inspire others to pick up power tools and learn that they are capable of
anything
. Carpenter Katie Hughes frequently found that she was the only woman on construction worksites. To change that, she began teaching classes to
girls
ages 8-14, showing them how to drill, saw, and weld. Her classes quickly became sold out summer camps and she founded her own non-profit,
Girls
Build
.
Girls
Who
Build
features candid and arresting photographs of 45
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 13 do-it-herself building projects (from the featured
girls
themselves) such as picture frames, nightstands, playhouses, and more.
