“An effective invitation to children to join Ban in using creativity to solve big problems.” —The Horn Book
A beautiful biographical picture book about architecture, social good, and using one’s artistic skills to help others.

Inside, you'll find:
-An insert booklet showing examples of the artist’s practice
