Big ideas from ordinary boxes

At Maker School, cardboard becomes the material for invention—and a source of rivalry. Meg takes pride in her box creations, while new classmate Simone shares her talent. Their pairing for the annual Maker Match turns a building challenge into a story about collaboration: after their project goes awry, the two must combine their ideas and support one another. The STEAM-centered picture book brings creative problem-solving into a school setting, with making and teamwork tied to the same challenge.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for children ages 4–8 interested in building, making, and creative projects.
  • Suitable for young readers exploring stories about cooperation and working through disagreements.
  • A choice for families or classrooms looking for a picture book with a STEAM focus.

Book overview

A STEAM-centered, adorably illustrated picture book about Meg, a brilliant and creative boxitect who creates extraordinary things out of ordinary cardboard boxes.

Meg is a brilliant and creative boxitect. She loves impressing her teacher and classmates with what she makes out of boxes.

But there's a new kid at Maker School: Simone. Simone is good at everything, and worst of all, she's a boxitect too.

When the annual Maker Match is held, Meg and Simone are paired as a team but can't seem to stop arguing. When their extraordinary project turns into a huge disaster, they must find a way to join creative forces, lift each other up, and work together.
