Part Virgina Lee Burton's The Little House, part Yuyi Morales's Dreamers, this heartfelt, lyrical, and expansive story charts the history of a house that becomes the center of one generation, then the next, and then the next, told from the point of view of a grandchild who remembers spending her summers there. All my grandparents had left was a small plot of land next to a river.That’s where they built their home.From soil to straw to bricks, readers will follow along with a couple, living in Communist Romania, who build their own home, raise a family, and watch—page by page—as the world around them changes. Narrated by the future grandchild of this couple, this story shows multiple generations raised in this home, the environmental and political changes happening around its plot of land, and the continuous love sprouting from its walls.

It’s a wistful telling that pinpoints the way place can house memories. — Publishers WeeklyCleverly designed to resemble a cherished scrapbook album, delicate colored-pencil and watercolor illustrations present a wide array of keepsakes throughout the decades. Subtly showing the passage of time, the narrator’s hands are depicted turning pages, visibly growing older as the book progresses, accompanied by her young son’s hands in the final spreads. A lovingly crafted homage to the importance of roots and home. — Booklist
