Deep in the woods
is a house
just a house
that once was
but now isnтАЩt
a home.
Who lived in that house? Who walked down its hallways? Why did they leave it, and where did they go?
Two children set off to find the answers by piecing together clues found, books left behind, forgotten photos, and discarded toys, creating their own vision of those who came before, in this deeply moving tale of imagination by Ezra Jack Keats AwardтАУwinning author Julie Fogliano and Caldecott AwardтАУwinning illustrator Lane Smith.
