About This Book
Reach for this book when your child's towering masterpiece of blocks or art is accidentally knocked over by a pet, a sibling, or a simple lapse in gravity. It is the perfect tool for navigating those big feelings of frustration that bubble up when hard work is undone in an instant. Through a clever play on the classic The House That Jack Built rhyme, the story follows Zack as he builds a block house on a busy farm, only for a chaotic chain reaction involving a fly and a cat to bring it all down. This book provides a gentle, humorous way to discuss resilience and the reality that sometimes, things break, but we can always start again. It is ideally suited for toddlers and preschoolers who are just beginning to master their fine motor skills and their emotional regulation.
