I’m looking for a children’s picture book. NO ONE remembers this book, and I really want to buy it for my kids. A boy (I believe barefoot and in overalls?) builds himself a house with sticks and mud. He may also have a saw/hammer. It’s in a meadow or something. I feel like his parents were ignoring him or making a house professionally?

Tony’s Hard Work Day, by Alan Arkin.
It might be Alan Arkin (yes, the actor)’s Tony’s Hard Work Day, a picture book. Tony’s parents and big brother Adam (yep) are building a house and say he is too little to help. So he goes into the woods and builds a house, all in one day, and his family like it so much they live in it instead.
And if that’s not it, try Andrew Henry’s Meadow by Doris Burn.
