Small but Mighty: Lifty's Big Day

By Adrian Wise

A heartwarming construction vehicle story about feeling small in a big world.

When the biggest construction machines roll into town, Little Lifty can't wait to be part of the team.

The bulldozers push.

The rollers smooth.

The excavators dig deep.

Everyone seems built for an important job.

Everyone except Lifty.
