Mildred Builds A World

Independent Press Award, Distinguished Favourite, 2021

If you don't like what you see all around you, fix it Mildred is seven-and-three-quarters, very perceptive, and she doesn't always like what she finds out there in the world. With craft supplies in hand, and her head buzzing with visions of how things should be, she sets out to build a new one. Brimming with big ideas about what makes a perfect world, this sweet story empowers children to think about what's important, and to recognize and celebrate their role in creating it.

Perfect for present and future world-builders aged 5 and up Written by award-winning author and friendly neighbourhood philosopher, Amy Leask.
