A roof can become a roller rink. An empty swimming pool can become a place for wheels and laughter. In the house Baba built, Ed Young's childhood in Shanghai is filled with invention, family, and the comforting feeling of being safe inside strong walls.
Outside those walls, China is at war. Inside, the house changes with the needs of the people who live there, welcoming siblings, relatives, friends, and strangers who become part of daily life. Young readers will see how imagination and love can make a home feel large enough to hold both fear and joy.
This illustrated memoir offers a tender look at family, childhood, and resilience, told through the memories of one of children's literature's most celebrated artists.
