After the last brick is laid， a family moves into a brand-new house。 As the family grows， the house delights in the sound of laughter echoing in its halls and the pitter-patter of little feet traversing its floors and realizes it is no longer just a house。 It has become a home—their home。 One day， the family packs up， and with tears in their eyes， they say goodbye。 The house doesn’t know if it can ever be happy again until a special couple appears and it begins to feel a sliver of hope。 Perhaps it can become a home once more…

Told from the perspective of a house， this story’s heartfelt text and beautiful illustrations convey a warmth of feeling as two families change and grow at different times within the same four walls。
