Bookroo's summary

Katie loves building, Owen loves reading. Their sibling rivalry reaches a peak until a librarian offers a unique challenge: books for Katie to explore and blocks for Owen to organize. Can they bridge their differences and create something new together? Discover how their contrasting worlds collide and whether they can learn to appreciate each other's passions.

From the publisher

Books and blocks bring together two siblings with nothing in common in this story from Megan Wagner Lloyd (Finding Wild) and illustrator Brianne Farley (Secret Tree Fort). Katie loves to build. She loves the way the blocks click together, the way they crash when they topple to the floor. But most of all, she loves to build something brand-new. Unlike her brother, she hates reading. Owen loves to read. He loves the way the pages rustle when he turns them, the way the paper smells. But most of all, he loves to read something brand-new. But, unlike his sister, he has no interest in building. When their rivalry finally comes to a head, a librarian suggests a solution. Books for Katie to read and books for Owen to shelve. Can they learn to appreciate their siblings hobbies and build something together?
