A young boy who dreams of buying and operating his own digger imagines that he uses it to build a playground that both he and his baby brother can enjoy. With just a few carefully selected words, this gentle fantasy addresses a young child's ambivalence toward and gradual acceptance of a new sibling. Bright acrylic spreads capturing the colorful construction vehicles are certain to lure toddlers.
