Book Review: What We'll Build: Plans for our Future Together by Oliver Jeffers


Rating: 4/5

When you’re someone who loves books, there is a tendency to pass on your love for reading and making more people read. In a world dominated by technology, take my word when I say that young children feel delighted to read something as physical and personal as a book, and reading Children’s books with your kids, or nephews and nieces is enjoyable for them as well as for you.

What we build is the story of a father and a daughter and how they want to build a home for themselves and more. It is about the love between a parent and their child and the endless possibilities and opportunities of life.

For an adult, this book is a mere 10-minute read full of optimism and almost unrealistic. From the eyes of a six-year-old, it turned out to be something she enjoyed for over an hour, going through every detail of illustrations, and the next day she picked it up again.

One thing that stood out as a hindrance for the book is that the language was a little tough for the kid, she was unable to understand some words. Hence, the need of an older person to sit with and read.

Other than that, the illustrations and colors are really attractive and keep the child's attention. The inclusion of witches and stars and space and everything was really good!

On a personal bias, I really like children’s books! I read a lot of them as a child and its amazing to see the difference! Now the books are so inclusive of everything! Such as in this one, it talks about life other than the ones on earth.


Thank you Harper Collins India for a copy in exchange of an honest review.


This title is up for pre-orders and will be out on November 10, 2020


Here is a picture of my niece, reading the book:
