Illustrated by
Skye Ali.
In this touching story, a young child gives the prospective buyers of their grandmother’s house an unconventional tour: from the “kitchen floor for skating” to “the best backyard you’ll ever play in.” As they tour each space, pink outlines in the mixed-media illustrations show what used to be there: a rocking chair in the living room, a plate of cookies on the table. The book evokes fond memories of a special house and relationship.
