"Lily's family is happy in their ancestral house at the end of the lane. But then comes change. Grandma refuses to sell to developers, the city builds around them, and soon their house is smack in the middle of a multi-lane highway. As cars rush past 24/7, the family's happiness disappears in a cloud of exhaust. Working with her paints and crayons, Lily comes up with an idea. Her family's house, which Grandma says is "old and steady as mountains," is a mountain than can be moved. So with the help of the construction crew that brought change to their door, Lily and her family set sail in their forever house to find a new place to call home. - Readers will relish this unique story about moving. Usually when a family moves, it's to a different house. But for Lily's family, their house is their home. A refreshing example of thinking outside the box. In this case, if your house is your home, perhaps when you move, you need to take it with you! - Change is inevitable. This House Is Home shows the power of being open to change, the value of family and community to help you move through it, and the strength that comes from people working together. - Lily loves to draw, and comes up with a solution to her problem through her art. The story will inspire readers to use their creativity to find solutions to their own problems. - No matter the size of the problem, whether it is a mountain or a molehill, there is a solution. As Lily's ingenious plan demonstrates, with a positive attitude, some creative thinking, and cooperation, even proverbial mountains can be moved! - A look at the many relationships in our lives. From immediate and extended family, to neighbors and friends old and new - all inform, support and enrich our lives. - Like Virginia Lee Burton's classic The Little House, This House Is Home looks at urbanization. There is no avoiding "progress." The march of change and the destruction of neighborhoods to build bigger, better, more, have enormous impact on many lives. But even in the face of such drastic and dramatic change, there is beauty, kindness and, always, hope. - With her soft watercolor images, Kang has created a classic picture book that illuminates this story about dealing with change and makes the characters shine."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
