Dreaming Up: A Celebration of Building by Christy Hale is a captivating and imaginative picture book that connects children's playful creations with iconic architecture from around the world. Concrete poetry and vibrant illustrations echo the shapes children build—like stacking cups or sandcastles—alongside photographs of major structures, revealing how early play can inspire real-world architectural design. With back-matter detailing architects' biographies and structural features, it's both a celebration of creative play and a gateway into engineering and design thinking for young readers.
