DescriptionThis stunningly beautiful picture book from New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Eliza Wheeler is based on her grandmothers childhood and pays homage to a familys fortitude as they discover the meaning of home. Eliza Wheelers gorgeously illustrated book tells the story of what happens when six-year-old Marvel, her seven siblings, and their mom must start all over again after their father has died. Deep in the woods of Wisconsin they find a tar-paper shack. It doesnt seem like much of a home, but they soon start seeing what it could be. During their first year its a struggle to maintain the shack and make sure they have enough to eat. But each season also brings its own delights and blessings--and the children always find a way to have fun. Most importantly, the family finds immense joy in being together, surrounded by nature. And slowly, their little shack starts feeling like a true home--warm, bright, and filled up with love.About the AuthorEliza Wheeler (wheelerstudio.com) wrote and illustrated New York Times bestseller Miss Maples Seeds and has also illustrated several picture books (including This Is Our Baby, Born Today by Varsha Bajaj) and novels (including Newbery Honor winner Doll Bones by Holly Black).
