How My House Felt

A grandmother looks back at the story of the house where she grew up, remembering what it was like to live there over the years. She imagines that the house felt what she felt when she was small. Happy and sad moments, pleasures and fears, joys and sorrows, are all part of family life. Tying all those memories to the house where she lives now, the author finds many parallels between her growing up years and her life as a grandmother.

How My House Felt offers readers new vocabulary to name their feelings. Children (and their grown-ups!) will enjoy playful repetition as the main character declares "I'm sure my house felt just like me ...". The colourful art of this young illustrator evokes wide-ranging emotions and invites readers to imagine how they might express feelings about their own homes.
