House Held Up by Trees

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jon Klassen. An abandoned house succumbs to the encroaching forest, which lifts it from its foundation and carries it into the canopy. The tension in this bittersweet elegy to the passage of time is matched by the soft, plain narrative and the somber, dappled watercolors. This book offers some simple and profound musings to contemplative young readers curious about the future and their role in it.
