Little Builder

Girls can build tree houses. Boys can too. And every great builder starts with a plan!

Theresa has always dreamed of a tree house in the big old maple in Grandma Debbie's backyard. So she grabs a pencil, draws a blueprint, and leads the Can-Do Crew as they build it board by board.

Evelynn checks everything with the level, Chuck hauls the lumber, Brian holds the ladder steady, and Randy helps with the big tools. Grandma Debbie keeps an eye on the whole project from her lawn chair, with Chicken Pickles the dog by her side, until Chicken Pickles ends up with paint on her nose!

Inside this book, young readers will:
Follow a real building project from blueprint to finished tree house
Discover a fun fact in a Did You Know box on every spread
Pick up builder words like blueprint, level and two-by-four
See safety habits in action, like hard hats, safety glasses and gloves
Meet the whole crew and play the Can You Find game at the back

Why this book matters
In many building trades, girls are still the only one on the job site. Little Builder shows a girl drawing the plan and swinging the hammer, with her friends working right beside her, so every child grows up knowing these careers belong to them.

This bouncy read-aloud is perfect for ages 4 to 7, kids who love to build, and anyone who has ever dreamed of a tree house of their own.

Grab your hard hat and join the Can-Do Crew!
