A tree has bloomed on a city block outside a house for many years. Inside that house, several generations of a family have grown up. Grandma and Grandpa arrived at the house from a country far away, and Mom and her brothers played on the steps on warm summer days. This little girl learned how to walk on that street, too. Hyewon Yum's This is Our House is a warm story with spare text that follows a family through seasons and generations, from the early days of immigration to the times that made their house into a home. A Frances Foster Book “The intergenerational household may not be familiar to many modern American kids, but the idea of close family ties and treasured memories and places is universal. This quiet book could be an effective conversation starter about personal history at home or in the classroom.” ― School Library Journal “*A lovely, unassuming paean to place and belonging.” ― Kirkus Reviews, starred review Hyewon Yum is the author and illustrator of several acclaimed books for children, including This Is Our House , The Twins' Blanket , There Are No Scary Wolves , and Last Night .
