A longed-for visit of a child's favored playmate and grandma results in the building of a fantastical structure. The grandma arrives, seemingly paired with the sun itself, and is partnered with her apprentice to collaborate and create the ultimate fort. The multi-generational experience bridges the obvious age gap with the innocence and love one has for a revered grandparent. It is an adventure of brooms, blankets, and backward chairs. Critters join in the whimsy and play upon quilted trees and mountains of billowy comforters. The endearing engineering escapade is sure to be repeated when the grandma, the fort builder, returns. Fort Builder is a heartwarming poem married with magical artistry that showcases the cherished love between "budding apprentices" and their "expert builders," reminding us imagination and play can fortify any relationship.
