(2) PS A pigtailed girl (from Higher! Higher!) builds a tower out of blocks, then progresses to larger structures. But a huge diapered infant crashes through the skyscrapers, toppling the fantasy. Wordless spreads show their reconciliation process before the two start building together: "Stronger! Stronger!" The minimal text, bright palette, and textured acrylic paintings with thick black outlines create a book appropriate for sharing one-on-one or with groups.
