The House of Grass and Sky by Mary Lyn Ray illustrated by E.B. Goodale*

 House recalls the day it was built and the various families who have lived in it. Left empty for years, it longs for a family once more to reside within and to appreciate the joys of the countryside.

Pair with Farmhouse by Sophie Blackall and The Little Blue Cottage by Kelly Jordan (With the three books, readers will be able to make connections and compare/contrast.) I could also see writing prompts emerge from this book or being used as a story starter (older elementary students).

*Highly recommend.

Beautiful illustrations. Full of yearning

-Borrowed from the library.
