Perfect for the little builders in your life, this warm-hearted and unique picture book is all about "building a house and turning it into a home" (Publishers Weekly), inspired by award-winning author-illustrator Jonathan Bean's own childhood.
In this can't-miss book for kids who love tools, trucks, and all things construction-related, readers join a girl and her family as they pack up their old house in town and set out to build a new one in the country. Mom and Dad are going to make the new house themselves, from the ground up, with a helping hand from their lucky kiddos. From empty lot to finished home, every stage of their year-and-a-half-long building project is captured here--page after page brimming with machines, vehicles, and all kinds of house-making activities! As he imagines it through the eyes of his older sister, Building Our House is Jonathan Bean's retelling of his own family's true experience building their home, and includes an author's note with real-life family photographs. "Raise the roof for this picture book. It's something special." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
JONATHAN BEAN received an M.F.A. from New York's School of Visual Arts and now lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A two-time winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, for At Night and Building Our House, he is also the illustrator of Big Snow, two picture books by Lauren Thompson, and Bad Bye, Good Bye by Deborah Underwood.
