Up to Something

Illustrated by Kirrili Lonergan

Dad finally invites Billy into his shed to build something, but Billy finds out he’s only allowed to watch. It’s time for Billy to show Dad what he can do, and ultimately, what they can do together.

Bound to be just as successful - congrats again Katrina!
