OUR SHED: And Other Stories of Bond-Building and Love

Little Bigfoot, An Imprint of Sasquatch Books
2021

OUR SHED: A Father-Daughter Building Story is written by Robert Broder and illustrated by Carrie O'Neill.

From beginning to end, this generation-spanning, project-based relationship  is a delightful template for ways that dads and daughters (okay, could be sons, but this works so well with a daughter) are able to make the most of their time together. Construction projects (not IKEA assembly) offer countless ways to develop understanding of planning, execution, and purpose, all as scaffolding for deep love. With practicality and colorful creativity, this dad-daughter duo work, grow, and change together gracefully and joyfully.

"this sweet parent-child story effectively celebrates hands-on intergenerational 
collaboration."--Publishers Weekly

There is much to enjoy in this simple but sensitive story. It reminds me in some ways of the books by the Pumphrey brothers that I reviewed in an earlier post: THE OLD TRUCK, and THE OLD BOAT. Take a look back, and a look ahead at this new suggestion, won't you?
