A House That Once Was

 

A House That Once Was
Julie Fogliano
illustrated by Lane Smith

Another story that appeals to my love of exploring abandoned houses!  This story could have been about my friend Margaux and me.  Climbing in windows, finding houses left with the remnants of the lives that lived there and us imagining who they were.   

This part about the house struck me as so beautiful:  

Or maybe it loves to just sit and remember 
stories of someone who we'll never know.
And maybe it likes it out there in the forest
with the trees coming in where the roof used to go.
