Where would a sentence be without words? And what's a word without letters? Just like when constructing a building, you have to build your words from the ground up!

Foreman Kurt Cyrus brings architect Ann Whitford Paul's poem to incredible heights with vivid illustrations that will make everyone want to be a word builder!
