This House, Once
This House, Once | Deborah Freedman
2 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Deborah Freedmans 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.

#ForeverNovember Day 15: This book is a lyrical demonstration of the mud, stones, dust, trees that form the foundations and substance of what constitutes the physical structure that make a house. Told in a lilting, almost-ethereal voice with #fog-infused art, it pays tribute to that which came before everything else was built – not so much lost or gone – but transformed into something else entirely.

A sweet, gentle book about where a house comes from. It could definitely spark some discussions with young readers.
