The Tower that Could Talk

Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the fine line between healthy pride in their work and the arrogance that ignores the needs of others. It is an ideal resource for moments when teamwork falls apart because everyone wants to be the leader, or when a child becomes obsessed with a single achievement at the expense of their relationships. This story explores the ancient narrative of the Tower of Babel, focusing on the ambition of humans to build a structure that reaches the heavens. While the book centers on architectural wonder and historical curiosity, its emotional heart lies in the consequences of hubris and the sudden loss of communication. It is a thoughtful exploration of how we use our talents and what happens when we lose sight of our shared humanity. For parents of children aged 5 to 10, it serves as a gentle but firm opening to discuss humility, the importance of listening, and the origins of our diverse world.
