🚧 This is a Carissa the Crane Takeover! 🚧

Hi, I’m Carissa!

I’m a crane truck and I love to sing 🎶 . When not building buildings, you can find me singing high above the whoosh, whoosh of the train, with my good friends, Emma the excavator, Mason the mixer and Dylan the dump truck.

This summer I’ve been enjoying eating 🍕 with my friends at the beach and watching festival cover bands sing my favorite songs, like Taking Care of Business.

Speaking about business…

You can read how my friends and I formed a rock & roll band in the book, Carissa the Crane and the Construction Crew.

It’s available on Amazon, local bookstores, and my friend Arianna Brooks Author Page website: happinessforward.com

If you already have Carissa the Crane and the Construction Crew and really love it—thank you! That means a lot!

If you have a chance to leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review on goodreads or Amazon, that would be really kind & super helpful!
