Gorgeously written and illustrated, this is an eye-opening exploration of the many types of work that go into building our world–from the making of a bridge to a wind farm, an amusement park, and even the very picture book that you are reading. An architect may dream up the plans for a house, but someone has to actually work the saws and pound the nails. This book is a thank-you to the skilled women and men who work tirelessly to see our dreams brought to life.
Why I like this book: Someone Builds the Dream talks about all the different people that are involved in building. It shows how someone may dream something but someone has to bring it to life. It breaks down a complex process for children to understand how all the parts come together.
