Where little builders begin

Build Tomorrow Press makes books that take kids straight onto the jobsite — the machines, the glass, the trades, and the people who build the places we live in.

Our promise

Most kids’ construction books stop at big yellow trucks.
We keep going — all the way to the ribbon cutting.

50original scenes, planned page by page
4–8the ages we design every line for
8.5×11single-sided, blank backs, no bleed-through
A yellow excavator loads dirt into a red dump truck while two children and a crew mentor watch from behind a striped barricade.

Chapter One

It starts with a hole in the ground

Before there’s a building, there’s dirt. Kids meet the excavator, the dump truck, and the reason crews mark off a safe place to stand and watch.

  • Real machines, honestly drawn
  • Safety modeled, never lectured
Two glaziers in hard hats and safety glasses lift a large pane of glass with suction cups into a new aluminum storefront frame while two children watch safely.

Chapter Two

Then comes the wall of glass

This is the page no other book has. Suction cups, glazing carts, aluminum frames, a pane taller than a grown-up — drawn by people who install commercial glass for a living.

  • Written and art-directed by commercial glazing professionals
  • Brand-neutral: no logos, no real jobsites, no client details
Inside a building under construction, an electrician, plumber, carpenter and ironworker work while two children study a blueprint on a worktable.

Chapter Three

Nobody builds alone

Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, ironworkers. Every trade gets a face, a tool, and a job that matters — because one day a kid coloring this page will pick one.

  • Eight trades, one finished building
  • Inclusive crews, plain-language captions
A crew of construction workers and four children cheer in front of a finished community building with a bright glass storefront at sunset.

Last page

“We built it.”

Every book ends the same way: the crew steps back and looks at something real that wasn’t there before. That’s the feeling we’re trying to hand to a five-year-old.

Building Our World

A Big Machines & Skilled Trades Coloring Adventure

Coloring book cover artwork: four children in hard hats and safety vests stand in front of a tower crane, an excavator, and a half-built glass building.
Build Tomorrow Press Building
Our World
Big Machines & Skilled Trades 50 pages · Ages 4–8

Working cover · art direction in progress

Big, open, colorable

Bold closed outlines and generous white space. No hairline detail that frustrates a four-year-old, no gray fills that eat a marker.

Single-sided pages

Every illustration has a blank back, so markers don’t ruin the next scene and finished pages can be torn out and taped to the fridge.

Real trade authenticity

Tools in the right hands, glass carried the right way, PPE where it belongs. Details a kid whose parent works construction will actually recognize.

A series, not a one-off

Building Our World is title one of a planned line covering machines, trades, safety, and the buildings kids see every day.

Inside the book

Line art built for crayons, not for screenshots

Consistent line weight. Closed shapes so color stays put. Composed at full 8.5×11 with safe margins, so nothing important lands in the gutter or gets trimmed off.

About the publisher

We build for a living. Now we’re drawing it.

Build Tomorrow Press is a children’s imprint founded by commercial construction professionals. Our day job is glass and glazing — storefronts, impact windows, folding door systems — which means the equipment, sequencing, and jobsite habits in our books come from the field, not from a stock library.

Our goal is simple: help a generation of kids see the trades as something skilled, creative, and worth doing.

Our pledge to parents

  • 01 Original artwork and original stories. We don’t copy other books.
  • 02 Kids are shown observing and learning — never operating heavy equipment.
  • 03 Honest listings: real page counts, real age ranges, no keyword stuffing.
  • 04 Print quality we’d be proud to gift, priced like a book you can gift twice.
