About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transfixed by the humming activity of a neighborhood construction site or struggling with the slow pace of a long-term project. It is the perfect antidote to 'are we there yet' energy, showing how big things require careful planning and steady progress. Through the eyes of a young boy named Alex, the story tracks the multi-year transformation of an empty urban lot into a towering skyscraper. It beautifully validates a child's natural wonder toward heavy machinery while introducing deeper themes of community growth, patience, and the collective effort of many specialized workers. For children ages 4 to 8, this book provides a comforting, structured look at how their environment changes and how they can find their own place within a busy, evolving city.
