The House of Borrowed Rules
In the house where one child is growing up, every room has a rule. Don't laugh in this one. Always say sorry first. Leave one chair empty. Nobody remembers who made the rules, and nobody remembers why - but everyone follows them, day after day.
Until the smallest one begins to ask: Why?
The House of Borrowed Rules is a quiet, luminous picture book about a house full of rules no one can explain, and the small, brave questions that begin - very softly - to change it. Room by strange and beautiful room, a child discovers which rules keep a family safe, and which ones only keep it afraid, and what happens when you finally step across the crack in the floor. A mystery a child will want to wander through, and something larger for the grown-up reading aloud - a book with a child at its heart, and a door left open for readers of every age.
