Looking for the perfect holiday gift? Think IGGY PECK

Looking for the perfect holiday gift for the young aspiring architect, I highly recommend the children’s book Iggy Peck, Architect by Andrea Beaty.

A few years ago some good friends of ours gave us this book for our daughter who has architecture in her blood- both her father and granddad are architects. We all love it.
