Perfect for the little builders in your life, this warm-hearted and unique picture book is all about building a house and turning it into a home (Publishers Weekly), inspired by award-winning author-illustrator Jonathan Bean's own childhood.

In this can't-miss book for kids who love tools, trucks, and all things construction-related, readers join a girl and her family as they pack up their old house in town and set out to build a new one in the country. Mom and Dad are going to make the new house themselves, from the ground up, with a helping hand from their lucky kiddos. From empty lot to finished home, every stage of their year-and-a-half-long building project is captured here--page after page brimming with machines, vehicles, and all kinds of house-making activities!

As he imagines it through the eyes of his older sister, Building Our House is Jonathan Bean's retelling of his own family's true experience building their home, and includes an author's note with real-life family photographs.

Raise the roof for this picture book. It's something special. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
