Houses with a Story
by Seiji Yoshida & translated by Jan Mitsuko Cash
🏆 2024 Mildred L. Batchelder Award for outstanding children’s book translated into English
Subtitled A Dragon's Den, a Ghostly Mansion, a Library of Lost Books, and 30 More Amazing Places to Explore, this is an intriguing book that invites readers to explore some unique houses and their contents, and to meet the inhabitants. From an abandoned subway to a lighthouse, from a dragon tamer’s post office to the hideout of a timid ogre, each place can be a source of inspiration for readers to spin their own stories. By an illustrator with a background in anime and video game art, this book will appeal across quite a wide age range.
