Mom and Dad
Cara says it was her upbringing that encouraged her to build. “It was my mom & dad’s fault. Because I was pretty much born saying — What can I make? And they could have replied — Small things, little Cara. Make very small things. But alas, they didn’t. Instead, they said — You can make anything you set your (stubborn-as -a-mule) mind to. So I made caterpillar sleeping bags, snow forts, and cardboard box kingdoms. I wrote entire worlds into books. And when my kids and I were in a tough spot and needed a place to live, you already know what I said — What can I make?”
