When Johnny, who loves to make things out of wood, decides he wants to build a grandfather clock, but the only person who believes he can complete it is his friend Susannah.
Will Johnny be able to build his very own grandfather clock, with only the help of Susannah and Joe the Blacksmith?
Johnny loves to make things. Whenever he has spare time, he can be found hammering and banging and sawing up pieces of wood. But his parents don't think much of his hobby — to them, it’s just a noisy, nonsensical, and very dusty activity. So it comes as no surprise that when Johnny decides to make a grandfather clock, they advise him to do something “useful” instead. Only two people believe Johnny can do it — Susannah and Joe the Blacksmith. And of course, Johnny himself. This beautifully illustrated story is an engaging reminder that even difficult tasks can be achieved.
