a house made of books
A House Made of Books is a heartwarming story that celebrates community, kindness, and the transformative power of books. The reader follows the story of Simon and his cat who build a house out of books and generously lend them to neighbours in need. When the house collapses, their friends, using the knowledge gained from those books, rally to rebuild it together. Ultimately, it’s a story about how sharing and learning can bring a community closer.
