An Amazon Best Book of the Month
One fine morning, the people of Puddletrunk wake up to find their bridge
has collapsed. They are not surprised. After all, termites have
destroyed the last 200 or so bridges. Luckily, the people of Puddletrunk
have a bridge-building expert in their town: the fabulous Mortimer
Gulch, who will gladly rebuild their bridge for a pretty penny. But when
a newcomer to Puddletrunk does not want to pay for the repairs, Mortimer
is displeased. To make matters worse, this unusual foreigner has some
innovative ideas that threaten to upend Mortimer Gulch's entire business
. . .
Here is a whimsical yet timely picture book allegory about what new
people with new ideas can bring to communities.
