A sturdy, well tended little house standing on a hill in the countryside watches the days, nights, and seasons come and go as the town around her grows and develops before her.

To Be Remembered

Sweet story that captures a child's interest
It also is a reminder to adults to remember older family members because one day they will be the older person
Enjoyed the fact that several generations have passed and a great grandchild remembers the little house and restores it once again in peaceful surroundings

The final frontier! Made me think.

Wait a minute, I said to myself.
This is a very sad case study of our world today. So simply put.
The narration along with the illustrations were palpable.
