Iggy Peck, Architect

A parent might reach for this book when their child’s unique passion feels squashed or misunderstood, especially by an adult in a position of authority like a teacher. It tells the story of Iggy, a boy who has loved building since birth. His second-grade teacher, who has a fear of heights, bans architecture in the classroom, leaving Iggy bored and deflated. But when a bridge collapses on a field trip, only Iggy’s unique skill can save the day. This rhyming tale is perfect for kids 4 to 8. It masterfully validates a child's intense interests, celebrating creativity, perseverance, and how a personal passion can become a powerful tool for helping others.
