The Little House With a Big Idea: The True Story of John Hollensbury and the Hollensbury Spite House

By Deborah Jones

What happens when one man decides to stop the noise... by building a house in an alley?
The Little House with a Big Idea is a delightfully true tale about creativity, determination, and one very narrow home with a larger-than-life story.

Set in 1830's Virginia and inspired by the real-life Hollensbury Spite House, this beautifully illustrated picture book shows how big imagination can fit into even the tiniest space. Perfect for kids ages 6-10, this nonfiction story introduces young readers to historical problem-solving, unusual architecture, and a man who made his mark-one brick at a time.
