“. . . in the home where twelve children were raised, where they ate and slept and worked and played and laughed and loved and grew quite old, where they'll live one, now, in this book that you hold, like the stories will, so long as they're told“

I enjoyed reading this book and trying to spot every detail of the illustrations. I think they add lots of layers to the story. The power of storytelling is shown throughout the book as the family grows old and moves out of the house. I would use this book in my classroom to spark up a conversation about what students' lives and families are like.

This book is a story of a large family growing up in farmhouse. The book describes how they lived and enjoyed each other's company. The book gives a look into the family's daily life. The illustrations are expansive and detailed with elements of collage. The illustrator uses line and space to represent how the character's in the story are feeling.

This book is a two-time Caldecott medalist. The book is a story of a large family growing up in a farmhouse. The book describes how they lived and enjoyed each other's company. The book gives a look into this family's daily life. The illustrations are expansive and detailed with elements of collage. The house is shown to have other purposes now but the memories still live on.
