Buildings protect us, help us and inspire us, but do you ever wonder what they would say if they could talk? Do they have feelings? Are they happy to see us? Does it hurt when we stomp? This imaginative children's book contemplates what would happen if the buildings that surround us suddenly piped up to tell us what's on their minds.
Written by Nikki Clinton and illustrated by 14 real-life architects and designers, If Buildings Could Talk invites kids of all ages to ponder the conversations they might have with the architecture in their lives.
Illustrators: Elaine O'Brien, Cory Hester, Anh Tran, Darin Eng, Devin Wiesler, Emma Wallace, Charles Todd, Thomas Carlson-Reddig, Danielle Baker, John Komisin, Ron Boozer, Jim Thompson & Aranya Mom
