What is The Busy Builders about?

Two builders are busy making homes: one chooses solid rock, while the other builds on sand. When dark clouds gather and a powerful storm arrives, which house will survive? In this lively rhyming retelling of Jesus’ parable, children discover why a strong foundation matters and how listening to Jesus’ teachings can guide us. With playful language, memorable repetition and bright illustrations, this engaging picture book brings the story of the wise and foolish builders to life for young children.
