The House that Floated

THE HOUSE THAT FLOATED written and illustrated by Guojing

Guojing’s THE HOUSE THAT FLOATED is a perfect example of how a wordless book succeeds. We know the characters, a man and a woman and later their child. We know when that child is coming by a silhouette of a pregnant woman and a tiny chair joining the two larger ones on the front porch. We they have an intimate relationship with both the house and the natural world around them. We admire them when they save their endangered home with ingenuity and the aid of community.  You can find links to this book in the purchase tab below.
