A young girl stays with her grandparents in a little house on the beach and walks along the shore gathering seashells, which were once little houses of their own, making her wonder about the creatures who lived in each shell. 150,000 first printing. Illustrations. - HARPERCOLL
From award-winning and bestselling author Kevin Henkes and the acclaimed painter Laura Dronzek, Little Houses is an unforgettable masterpiece about nature, family, wonder, and the ocean. The lyrical writing and stunning paintings make this a great choice for family sharing and for story times all year round.
When a young girl visits her grandparents at the beach, she stays in a little house and walks along the shore gathering seashellsâwhich were once little houses of their own. As she wanders the beach, she wonders about the creatures who used to live in each shell, about the hidden treasures of the sea, and about the mysteries of the world.
Kevin Henkesâs text features striking imagery, depth of emotion, and a lovely multigenerational relationship. He deftly captures the feeling of wonder and imagination that is fostered by a trip to the shore. Laura Dronzekâs lush, saturated paintings make this book a true treasure for parents and children, and a must-have for the classroom.Â
