If we don’t understand, teach, and celebrate the construction trades, the modern world will crumble. "Grit Lead To Greatness" draws both children and adults into the world of construction through secret passageways, sled riding, volcanos, waterslides, and rollercoasters. By telling a creative tale, one that puts kids in the shoes of the protagonists, they can begin to see reflections of their current world and the not-so-distant futuristic society that could exist if the skilled trades are forgotten. Kids are encouraged to find greatness in their own life by resisting distractions, believing in themselves, and taking action when others do nothing. Most importantly, they can understand in simple terms how GRIT is the cornerstone of a well-lived life.

About the Authors First-time authors Jenny Kerr Schroen and Chris Eccleston have worked on many fresh ideas together at Delmarva Veteran Builders, a commercial construction firm in Salisbury, Maryland, and realized they shared a long-time dream to write a children’s book. Basing their concept on DVB’s tagline, “Grit Leads to Greatness,” they devised an epic adventure book to show both parents and children the power of GRIT and the magic of building.
