So You Want to Build a Library

There is no better place in the world than a library. Especially a library that kids create! A million stories high? Sure. Bathtubs? Absolutely. A full-service sundae bar? Of course. Everything is possible in this library—just like in books! Author Lindsay Leslie puts the reader in charge as the architect of a fantastical library in this imaginative picture book celebrating libraries and the joys of reading.

A diary keeper, a journalism major, a public relations executive, and a children's author--Lindsay Leslie has always operated in a world of written words. She likes to bring her unique outlook on life, quirky humor, and play with words to every book she writes. Lindsay is the author of multiple picture books, including This Book is Spineless, Nova the Star Eater, and Dusk. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, two boys, two fur-beasts, a guinea pig, and a tortoise.
