Daddy, How Do Planes Fly?
by Chris Ryan Miller
Publisher: Christopher Miller | November 20, 2011Why we love this children's book:
Chris Miller introduced himself to me as a aspiring aerospace manager... oh, and a children's book author! It was the first time "someone like me" had shared that they had taken the courageous leap to create a book of their own to promote STEM to the next generation. I love the charming inquiry from a girl and boy. And the simple, welcoming way the author explains the basics of aerospace engineering in an accessible, fun way. But mainly I love that Chris's willingness to take the leap and self-publish planted the seeds in my brain that I might one day do the same.

She Engineers
by Stephanie Slocum
Publisher: Engineers Rising LLC | January 19, 2018
Why we love She Engineers:
Stephanie offers a relatable and highly accessible "how to" for any woman pursing a career in STEM. Her actionable advice from communication style to breaking bias makes this a “career success guide” every woman engineer should own.
While targeted to the earlier career engineer, Stephanie’s experience as a working parent in the field shines through. She shares relatable experiences in conjunction with her data-driven insights.

Taylor's Toy
Written by Julianne Choy
Illustrated by Maria Hecher
Publisher: Independently Published | October 30, 2021
The joy of Taylor's Toy:
Discover that feeling of pride and accomplishment that comes with creating something yourself. This children's book is perfect (purr-fect?) for inquisitive children in your life, as well as for parents looking for a cute refresher on the engineering design process. Engineering doesn't have to be scary... "no need to fret. Let's design something new, even better I bet!"

Retaining Women in Engineering
by Robert N. Stavig & Alissa R. Stavig, MD
Publisher: CRC Press | November 22, 2022
What stood out to us:
While getting girls interested in STEM is a hugely valuable endeavor, it is only part of the solution if we want to close the gender gap in engineering. Retention matters.
We also appreciate that a lot of the messaging within is written from the perspective of an ally, and directed towards aspiring allies in leadership.

Making Flex Work
by Wendy A. Cocke
Publisher: Engineering Leadership Solutions LLC | July 6, 2022
Why we love Wendy, and anything she writes:
In the face of the age-old belief that flexible work schedules are 'career limiting,' Wendy boldly challenged this notion. In this engaging read, Wendy reveals how she applied her small business owner mindset to a corporate environment.
In an era where many companies are scaling back on work-from-home and hybrid options, this book is a must-read for every working parent seeking to craft their unique path to flexibility.
