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

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.

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. 4d

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. ❤️ 6mo
