The house knew many things, but it had to learn them all again…<br/>A house provides shelter and becomes a protector for a family who, day after day, fill its corners with laughter, love, and memories. Its walls are covered with warmth and become a true home. The house becomes another inhabitant.<br/>Until one day... A fire destroys everything that the house believed gave meaning to its life. It stands silent, empty. And, despite everything it has experienced, full of doubts that will make it forget what it never ceased to be.<br/>A story that reminds us of the power of words and self-esteem to heal.<br/>A message of hope where the passage of time will give us the strength we need to face adversity.<br/>With beautiful illustrations combining mixed media techniques of pencil, gouache, and collage, a poetic text is brought to life amid scenes where nature itself blossoms, sheltering animals, plants, and flowers.<br/>A beautiful and magical picture book that will delight readers of all ages, showing them that the light of hope will always shine through the ashes and cracks.
