From award-winning author Kevin Henkes and  acclaimed painter Laura Dronzek, "Little Houses" is an unforgettable tale of nature, family, wonder, and the ocean. When a young girl visits her grandparents at the beach, she stays in a little house and walks along the shore gathering seashells—which were once little houses of their own. As she wanders the beach, she wonders about the creatures who used to live in each shell, about the hidden treasures of the sea, and about the mysteries of the world.

With striking imagery and depth of emotion, Henkes captures the feeling of wonder and imagination that is fostered by this trip to the shore. Laura Dronzek’s lush, saturated paintings make this book a true treasure for parents and children.
