Book Guide

Over a hill, at the end of a road, by a glittering stream that twists and turns, stands a house, with twelve children who eat and sleep and work and play, who get into trouble, and argue and dream, who milk the cows and fish in the stream—a farmhouse where they are growing up, waiting to see what the future might bring.

Join two-time Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall on an enchanting visit to a farmhouse across time, to a place that echoes with stories.
