Carolina M.: The media could not be loaded.  My 3.5 year old, who is in her building era, loves this book. The story has a beautiful flow and also has a beautiful message about getting past rivalry.
A hidden gem: the back comes with building ideas for re-using your boxes.

med_bookworm: This charming story about two children in Maker school is a family favorite. After checking out from the library multiple times, finally decided to add to our collection. The story is very good and so are the illustrations.

Beth Mikkelsen: Do you like building with boxes? If you do you will love Boxitects. In this book Meg is a young girl who loves to build with boxes but she likes to build alone. She meets Simone and they have to try and work together. We think this book is great because it teaches you how to work together and not give up. Another reason is the pictures are colorful and full of fun details. If you like the book Not a Box you will love Boxitects because they both are about using your imaginations. This book is great for any kid or adult who love to create things out of boxes. You should buy Boxitects today and start building!

Emily: Do yourself a favor and buy this book. I was originally drawn to it when I was looking for books with diverse characters. This book has NOTHING to do with diverse characters, but rather the characters in the illustrations just happen to be diverse (I love the normalcy of this).
When this book arrived, we read it over and over and over again. The little girl in the book is an engineer who builds things out of cardboard and she is the best until another "boxitech" comes around. The story ends with a moral in teamwork followed by directions to create two different engineering projects of your own using boxes. We have been collecting boxes for months now to build a fort made of boxes and my son is beyond excited.
We have gifted this book 5 times since buying it and EVERY SINGLE TIME the recipient loves it.

Lilzilla: My two girls really loved this book. They loved how the main characters built these really cool and intricate cardboard sculptures. As a parent I enjoyed certain points through the story: the two main characters/best builders are girls, the girls are encouraged and championed during their competition, the kids are able to problem solve and work together in the end. Overall a lot of good messages in the story, with beautiful illustrations throughout.

Charity: My kids LOVED this book. It inspired so much creative with Amazon boxes 🤣. I love that the author didn't completely wrap up the story in a nice little bow.

Appreciated the diversity in the book.

Either way, you're going to want to check out Boxitects by Kim Smith for your builders or builders-to-be, as it's fully of both creative and teamwork inspiration!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meet Meg, a "boxitect." Yes, that's right, a boxitect, as in one who loves "to make things out of boxes." In fact, she loves her cardboard creations so mucht hat her mom enrolls her in Maker School, where she'll create with makers of all kinds. As the only boxitect in her class, she feels pretty darn special and learns to build useful, strong, and beautiful structures... Until Simone, another boxitect, shows up. From the first moment in class together, Meg and Simone feel a strong rivarly, pointing out flaws in each other's creations. Then comes the Maker Match, a competition to build the most amazing thing with only one rule -- you had to work with your team of like-minded builders, so Meg and Simone are forced to work together. Will they be able to cooperate enough to have a structure for the contest?...

basarab: Our family loves Kim Smith! We got this book for our 4 and 8 year old daughters - their current favorites were Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Home Alone. Boxitects instantly became a new favourite in our home. It's a fun story with a great message and the illustrations are fantastic!
