Award-winning children's author Beverley Rayner and artist illustrator James Hensman have teamed together to produce a cleverly-told and colorfully-illustrated children's 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.
