William's House by Ginger Howard illustrated by Larry Day*

 In 1637 New England, William arrives with his wife and two sons to build a home. He replicates how his father built their home in England. As the weather changes and the year progresses, he realizes the methods in England are not functional in this new area. He makes adjustments accordingly. 

His wife and her comments irritated me! ("Something must be done . . .") This book offers the readers perspective on how the settlers established themselves in early America. I highly recommend this book to anyone studying Colonial America. I especially loved the ink sketches of the two sons under the text. They offer an additional story. The colored illustrations are detailed and beautiful.


*Highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
