Description

In the deep woods, two children discover an abandoned house that is no longer a home—only a quiet shell waiting to be remembered. As they wander its hallways and rooms, they let their imaginations take flight, asking who might have lived there, what their days were like, and why the house was left behind. With lyrical, child-centered wonder, the story explores themes of curiosity, memory, and the way stories help us understand change and loss. Through Julie Fogliano’s distinctive, evocative storytelling style, readers are invited to see the past not as something fixed, but as something we can gently reimagine.
