Blocks

Ruby builds with red blocks while Benji uses blue ones. When Benji wants one of Ruby’s blocks, he takes it, and their dispute becomes a tug-of-war over who owns it. Both structures fall. After a brief moment of regret, the two children use red and blue blocks together to make something new. A third child, Gus, joins them at the end with green blocks. The spare text and mixed-media scenes focus on the children’s shifting play, from separate projects and conflict to cooperation.
