From the acclaimed author of "Home" and "Du Iz Tak?" comes a captivating and unconventional story about a remarkable room filled with half-sized objects. The "half room" is a delightful abode teeming with half chairs, half cats, and even half shoes, each possessing the same charm, quirkiness, and friendliness as their whole counterparts. When a half-knock resonates on a half-door, who could it possibly be? In her signature style of magic and whimsy, Caldecott Honor winner Carson Ellis delves into the concept of halves and wholes in this ingenious and thought-provoking picture book. The gently rhyming text is soothing yet spirited, unveiling the countless absurdities and possibilities that reside within this irresistibly fanciful home. Ink and gouache illustrations, adorned with wry detail and velvety textures, create a dreamlike atmosphere while leaving ample room for readers to immerse themselves in imaginative realms. This remarkable picture book celebrates the surreal and serendipitous, showcasing the harmonious beauty of halves and wholes. It will inspire readers to perceive the joys of halves in a whole new light.
