A heartwarming construction vehicle story about feeling small in a big world.
When the biggest construction machines roll into town, Little Lifty can't wait to be part of the team.
The bulldozers push.
The rollers smooth.
The excavators dig deep.
Everyone seems built for an important job.
Everyone except Lifty.
As Lifty watches the others at work, he begins to question where he fits in. Through his journey, young readers are gently introduced to the idea that being different doesn't mean being less, and that everyone has their own unique strengths to offer.
