The House in the Night | Susan Marie Swanson, Beth Krommes

This can be a story used to help evoke feelings of calmness in the classroom due to its repetitive lines and simple illustrations

Mehso-so

This story is unique in the way that it is illustrated with many horizontal and vertical lines, using all black and white besides a few hints of yellow, representing the light throughout the story. The stark images represent the calm, dark, nighttime scene and rhythmic story.

Stunning illustrations and a very cute picture book. The book reads forwards and backwards about a girl who goes to her house, reads a book and imagines flying a bird in the night.

TheBookHippie Fun! 6mo
monkeygirlsmama No littles in my life anymore, but I still think I need to check this out! I love the concept of it reading both ways. 6mo
booklover3258 I don't have kids but since I'm a childen's librarian I've been looking at these awesome books lately and of course recommending them to the parents. 6mo

It‘s been a wonderful solstice. A long walk along the river in the snowy woods and reading the tagged book by the light of the Christmas tree. It‘s a book we will come back to. Thanks @TheBookHippie for the great lists of recommendations!

Happy Solstice! Blessed Yule! This day reminds me to take a deep breath, enjoy the light and feel some hope in the chaos around me. I love slipping away from the commercial world to have moments of focus back on nature. I will have wassail and a fire tonight , my family tradition for 9 years- and Brynne is home to make the wassail!!! 🕯️🤍🕯️I hope all of you experience some calm too💙(tagging some who celebrate but wishing for everyone)

AmyG Happy Solstice! Glad your girl is home. ❤️ 12mo
