HOUSE FINDS A HOME

Len Corace Katy S. Duffield

Reminiscent of the children's classic The Little House comes a picture book about a house and how the world changes both outside and inside of it over generations.
House has always loved the people inside. When they move out, House's halls grow quiet, his windows dark. He hopes with all his shingles that there will be other inhabitants and joys to discover. As generations pass, House experiences new people and traditions and learns that love can come in many forms.

Reminiscent of the beloved children's classic The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton, Katy S. Duffield's lyrical, heartwarming text and Jen Corace's exquisite illustrations bring warmth and vulnerability to the different ways a house becomes a home.


Katy S. Duffield is the author of more than thirty books for children. She lives in Arkansas in a house that's full of love.

Jen Corace is the illustrator of many bestselling books for children, including Little Pea by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Telephone by Mac Barnett. She has a BFA in illustration from Rhode Island School of Design, and she lives and works in Providence, Rhode Island.

A wonderful romp through history, morphing styles, and the importance of opening up to change; a recommended purchase, ideal for story hours.

Matching the text's polish, Corace's diminutive dollhouse-style cutaways, rendered in gouache, ink, and pencil, add a narrative layer via art..

...Created with pencil, ink, and gouache, the beautifully composed illustrations reflect the quiet, thoughtful tone of the text... Duffield's narrative offers a different perspective on the experience of moving, a difficult transition for many children, in this reflective and ultimately heartwarming picture book.

Bright and warmly textured, the illustrations are simple but brim with cozy details. A new way to appreciate "home sweet home."
