A new book by Kevin Henkes, one of our all time favorite picture book authors, is a cause for celebration. And celebrate we will when much beloved master picture book creator Kevin Henkes virtually visits to introduce his timeless and irresistible new picture book, A House, that explores what it means to be at home

Kevin Henkes has been praised both as a writer and as an illustrator and is the recipient of the Children’s Literature Legacy Award for his lasting contribution to literature for children. “An artist and author at the top of his craft, Henkes gives us a legacy of work full of honest emotion and insight, warm and gentle humor, and playful, nuanced illustrations,” He received the Caldecott Medal for Kitten’s First Full Moon; Caldecott Honors for Waiting and Owen; two Newbery Honors—one for Olive’s Ocean and one for The Year of Billy Miller—and Geisel Honors for Waiting and Penny and Her Marble. He is the author and illustrator of over 50 acclaimed and award winning picture books, beginning readers, and novels and as New York Times Book Review wrote, "It should be said: Kevin Henkes is a genius." We couldn't agree more.

A House introduces young readers to shapes, numbers, the weather, and the parts of a house, with a rhythmic, repetitive text and remarkable illustrations. A story about home, family, community, and belonging, A House is sure to become you next family favorite.
