I’ve always said, I do not see a line between where home life stops, and home design begins. It’s all a blur to me. Mina Starsiak-Hawk, the star of HGTV’s “Good Bones,” a home renovation show, and author of a new children’s book, “Built Together,” (Zonderkidz, Feb. 2, 2021, $18.99) agrees, and has taken that viewpoint one step further.
The premise of her new book: Whether building a house or building a family, the same principles should apply.
Stay with me.
In “Built Together,” adorably illustrated by Barbara Bongini, the little boy narrator wonders whether his mom and dad will need a hammer and nails to build a family, or maybe they’ll need a drill and monkey wrench, tile and grout, bricks and mortar, paint and brushes? Whatever the case, he wants to help.
