PreS-Gr 2—Blackall worked in mixed-media collage using items from a 19th-century farmhouse to recreate her
vision of the true lives of its large family; it's a one-of-a-kind, exquisite glimpse of land once held by Indigenous

One of the most unique picture books I've read in awhile. I enjoyed the story, and the mixed media illustrations were amazing! ( )

I just adore Sophie Blackall. ( )

It's Sophie Blackall!

It's the story of a house and growing up and the memories made......It's everything and more that you would expect. ( )
