Recensioni
Lovely generational family story about milestones and seasons that have been celebrated in the same home.
In my opinion, this is a good book. The illustrations are the star of the book. Each sentence is concise but has a purpose in describing the home and family. For example, “This is the house where my grandparents arrived from far way with just two suitcases in hand,” and “This is the room where they all slept together on cold winter nights.” I also enjoyed how the story followed the same chronological order from mother to daughter. It helps to show the past and the future to readers. For example, in the beginning of the book it says, “This is the street where she learned to walk,” and then towards the end it says, “This is the street where I learned to walk just like my mom.” The central message of this book is that a home is full of memories.
In my opinion, this is a good book. I like how there is just one sentence per set of pages. It allows the illustrations to say more than the words. Every sentence has to with something significant that has happened in her house, to someone in her family. For example, “This is the house where my grandparents arrived from far way with just two suitcases in hand,” and “This is the room where they all slept together on cold winter nights.” I also like how the author takes the reader through significant events that happens to the narrator’s mother, and then show how she goes through some of the same significant events in the same place. For example, in the beginning of the book it says, “This is the street where she learned to walk,” and then towards the end it says, “This is the street where I learned to walk just like my mom.” The central message of this book is that a home is not just where you live. A lot of significant events happen at home, and these events make your family closer. “This is our home where my family lives,” the last sentence in the book.
