Castle of Books

Reach for this book when your child is in a high-energy building phase or when you want to celebrate the quiet, shared bond between a creative parent and a curious child. It is a gentle, atmospheric story about Benjamin, a boy who transforms his father's vast collection of books into a magnificent courtyard castle. While some parents might worry about the treatment of physical books, the story treats them as sacred building blocks for both architecture and the mind. It is perfect for ages 4 to 8, especially for families who value literacy, imaginative play, and the beauty of a slow, thoughtful afternoon. This story validates that a child's play is their work, and a father's passion can be the foundation for a son's discovery.
