"Working hand in hand, we built things
we never could have dreamt up on our own.
Yet somehow ... "
With a BANG and a BUMP, two young boys become inadvertent friends. It starts with a mistake while building two separate structures. When they fall, the two find that building together has much happier results. Those results are beyond their wildest dreams!
No matter what they manage to build, all fall down or are destroyed. Accompanied by laughter on their part, they continue to erect more and more elaborate creations. The downside is that the disasters can be quite disastrous time after time.
There are trainwrecks, catastrophes, and various other failures. No matter ... they do not give up, always emerging from their difficulties with a new idea and the determination to begin once more.
"With each new beginning,
we knew that our next build
was going to be
the
BEST
ONE
YET."
They have no doubts. As they learn from the mistakes they are making, they continue to dream even bigger. They imagine their final build being something that will 'stand the test of time'. After multiple tries and equally as many failures, they admit that they should stop what they were doing and move forward with something brand new.
In fact, perhaps they should go to work on their own! That decision does not sit well with either one. After a falling-out and their resulting sadness, they finally recognize what it is they have that was 'built to last'.
This team of exceptional collaborators seem the ideal artists to create this story of friendship and imagination. Kids will be taken with the fantastic worlds their creative spirits bring to the page, showing how their real world compares to the one they imagine. It is a book that brings fun and enjoyment to the sharing and opportunity for pausing to take in all the details, and to discuss the happiness thar arises when friends work together.
