So what's it all about?
When I Grow Up & The Big Build follow twins Harry and Amy who are considering their future professions as part of their school careers day competition. The stories cover a range of engineering activities and demonstrates to children that without the hard work of those in the construction industry, many other jobs would not be possible.
The purpose of the books is to inspire school children and engage with STEM subjects from a young age, building an appreciation in young minds that our industry underpins almost everything. The stories capture children’s imagination through colourful illustrations and rhyming verse.
STEM
The storybooks give an engaging introduction to the industry at a young age and help promote STEM subjects to children who otherwise may not consider this path. It is so important that we inspire future generations now, to propel our industry forward.
But are they any good?
Well, yes. Yes they really are. But don't just take our word for it, take a look at what other people are saying...
Animated Versions
As well as the printed storybooks, there's also a narrated, animated version of When I Grow Up. It's kind of like an audiobook with a simple animated tour through the pages.
For the hearing-impaired, we've created a BSL sign language version too.
