This House, Once

â€œTender, comforting, and complex.â€ â€”Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
â€œDrawn with exquisite precision and quiet dashes of humor.â€ â€”Publishers Weekly (starred review)
â€œA lovely, ruminative selection.â€ â€”School Library Journal (starred review)
â€œA blueprint for mindfulness and gratitude for the homes in which weâ€¦live.â€ â€”The New York Times Book Review

Deborah Freedmanâ€™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 treeâ€”
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.
