(A wordless picture book exploring the concept of
exponential change.)
A mother and baby look through a window at a view
of wilderness and sky as far as they can see.
As Sam, the baby, grows, the view changes. At first, in
a cleared patch of forest, a single house appears, A few
years pass and there is a village in the distance.  The
village develops into a city.
Sam, now a young man, gets married, has a child of
his own and moves to the country.  Now father and
baby look through a window in their new home.  The
view again is of a wilderness, but in a cleared patch of
forest across a dirt road a prophetic sign reads, ‘House
Blocks for Sale’.
