Award-winning children's authorBeverley
Rayner and artist illustrator James Hensman have teamed together to produce a
cleverly-told and colorfully-illustrated childrens adaption of the well-known
parable of the wise and foolish builders. Based on Jesus parable in Matthew,
chapter seven the book teaches with a narrative that will appeal to a young
audience ages five-eight, without diminishing the integrity and intent of
Jesus words.
Barclay and Berk can build just about anything,
from sandboxes to jungle gyms, but right now, they both need a house. Barclay
plunges into his project with eager decisiveness, while Berk is cautious with
making each building choice. When their springtime of hope turns into a stormy
winter gale, Barclay discovers the valuable lesson that enthusiasm alone may
not be enough to keep your walls from falling down.
