The Lantern House
Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.
A house shares its observations and familial attachments in this warm picture-book debut from the cohost of HGTV's Home Town. Throughout the generations, the cozy two-story home proudly shelters and watches over a growing family, which leaves its mark along with milestone memories: a growth chart penciled on the laundry room doorway, a wedding celebration by the fireplace hearth, a grandchild learning to cook in the kitchen. As time passes, the house and its now empty nesters weather the seasons of life together: "My glow is dimmer than it used to be, with only one bedside lamp on in the night. My blue paint is fading, and the picket fence is broken in places." When all the lights go out, the lonely house longs to be loved again. A new family moves in, planting perennials and roots of their own. Trest's painterly, radiant illustrations capture realistic scenes of everyday life and renewal. An illuminating and affecting inspection into what makes a house a home.
