Tender, comforting, and complex. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Drawn with exquisite precision and quiet dashes of humor. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A lovely, ruminative selection. --School Library Journal (starred review)
A blueprint for mindfulness and gratitude for the homes in which we.live. --The New York Times Book Review Deborah Freedman's masterful new picture book is at once an introduction to the pieces of a house, a cozy story to share and explore, and a dreamy meditation on the magic of our homes and our world. Before there was this house,
there were stones,
and mud,
and a colossal oak tree--
three hugs around
and as high as the blue. What was your home, once? This poetically simple, thought-provoking, and gorgeously illustrated book invites readers to think about where things come from and what nature provides.
Deborah Freedman was an introvert as a kid. She feels now the author of several picture books for children, including By Mouse and Frog, The Story of Fish and Snail, Blue Chicken, and Scribble, which she is both bashful and brave about. She lives in a peaceful Connecticut home where she enjoys reading, drawing, and listening to birds sing. Deborah's website is deborahfreedman.net, where you may learn more about her.
