December is a month of multicultural holiday celebrations. If you’re considering exchanging gifts when celebrating holidays such as Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Three Kings Day, then how about a book for that young, budding engineer?
Written by Matt MacGregor, a Dallas-based civil engineer and father of three, I Am a Sidewalk is about the lifespan of a neighborhood sidewalk winding its way through a quintessential American town. Over a period of years, from the initial pouring of cement until the very end, the sidewalk’s neighborhood undergoes gradual yet profound change.
On one level, children learn about the basics of road and sidewalk construction. At the same time, they learn that change is good and nothing in life stays the same.
An uplifting read for both kids and adults alike.

What an interesting tale. I can definitely see the originality behind it and the unique way it could deliver life lessons.

I wrote a story inspired by your ugly sweater chronicles and will post it later today (on SMM).

What a wonderful idea for a children’s book gift! What is the age range it is intended for?

I imagine can be for any child who is being read to through fourth grade, when kids are usually asked what do you want to be when you grow up, although that question seems to pop up every year since preschool. Hmm
