A House That Once Was ISBN: 9781509880652

Illustrated by the winner of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal 17, Lane Smith. Deep in the woods is a house just a house that once was but now isn't a home. Two children come across an abandoned house deep in the woods and imagine who could have lived there. A House That Once Was is a beautifully illustrated exploration of time, imagination and the nature of home that is sure to provoke discussion. Lane's artwork is a riot of colour and rich texture that perfectly matches the poetic text written by the New York Times-bestselling author, Julie Fogliano. This evocative, rhyming story is perfect for reading out loud.
