Building with Dad

A little boy joins his father at a construction site, where they are building a new school.

Together, they watch all the machines at work: a backhoe, an earthmover, a giant grader, a steamroller, a cement mixer, a crane.

Finally, the school is finished - just in time for the first day.

Bill Thomson's exquisite illustrations, rendered in acrylic paint and coloured pencils, bring this building experience to life with unprecedented dramatic perspective.
