The house that she built readings

This great children's book created by the National Association of Home Builders explains the process of building a home and also encourages women in the construction and building industry. Based on a real home that was built in Utah, this book shows the various women and what role they played while building the home. Chippewa Valley Home Builders Assocation women members have read this book and done various activities with the children in different libraries and clubs around the Chippewa Valley.
