Picture storybooks

Ned and Sam enjoy building, and together they fill their home with creativity.

Ned loves building incredible depictions of cities with his wooden blocks, but his little brother Sam often knocks them down. When Sam rebuilds, Ned ponders what Sam's constructions might be. When visiting the local park, Ned notices strange objects and finds that they are called sculptures. Ned realises how he and his brother can team up to build the perfect city together. Ned Needs to Build is a joyous story about creativity, teamwork, and sibling bonds, and it features whimsical illustrations that reveal the joy of sharing ideas and playing with others.
