"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.
