My Grammie's House





A sweet picture book about a kid welcoming new people into her grammie's old house.

A sweet picture book about a kid welcoming new people into her grammie's old house.

"You're going to love my Grammie's house. You'll love every single thing about it."

A precocious and delightful tour guide walks some potential buyers through Grammie's old house, showing them all the great things about it: a shaggy rug for shuffling, a shady closet that makes a great clubhouse, the perfect spot for eating cookies — even a climbing tree.

And with each new detail eagerly pointed out, we get to see hints of what the house was like when Grammie was still there and experience the love that lived in every nook and cranny.

This charming and tender story celebrates the connections we make between people and the spaces they inhabit, and the memories that can live on even when new connections are being made.
