Jabari Tries

Jabari wants to make a flying machine. He told his dad and sister that he did not need any help. He was very disappointed when it did not work. He tried again. He let his sister help. Still, it didn't work. Finally he took a little rest with his dad and his dad taught him a great strategy to try when things don't work. And he succeeded.

A thoughtful maker-space sort of story, with bonus points for sharing strategies that enhance persistence and for patient parents.
