Brick by Brick

Simple but powerful story. Great illustrations

My 3 year old and I love reading this book together.

Brick by Brick gets the house built. This story takes a look at a young Hispanic family working hard, day by day, at their jobs...Dad is a bricklayer. The little child's job is to learn hard at school. Mama makes a nice home. As the story begins they are in the city living in tall apartments. But in time, daddy has a surprise. Hints are strong. Just look at the illustrations as they drive a distance. The little boy opens his eyes to a big surprise as daddy says when! The illustrations are done with great care using collage and special materials special to the author/illustrator. The skintones come from real brick colors. This is an excellent book to show children how hard work pays off!
