This House, Once
I'll confess, I picked this book up purely because I loved the cover, but what's inside is also, so, so lovely.

Such a quiet, sweet book - it totally charmed me. This story goes through various elements of the house: the door, which came from an old oak tree (I love the "3 hugs around" description), the stone, which once slept underground. Each building element of the house has a lyrical description of where it came from, which come together to form This House.

The illustrations are beautiful, so soft, with lovely watercolor textures. You feel like you could curl up inside them.
