Poppy's House - Hardcover

by Karla Courtney (Author), Madeline Kloepper (Illustrator)
A warm story of the bond between young and old that evokes the wild, windswept banks of Newfoundland--and the joys of a traditional way of life.
In a picture book as cozy as wool socks and as sweeping as a lighthouse beam, a little girl takes a ferry to an island to spend time with her Poppy. After fresh-baked bread for breakfast, the two tidy up, garden, and set out to explore together. They pass docks and green hills specked with puffins, counting their favorite things along the way: masts, animal tracks, silvery waves. At the end of each day, they snuggle on Poppy's worn velvet armchair to read by lantern light. When it's time to travel home, the little girl begins counting the days until she and Poppy will be together again. A patchwork of exquisitely patterned and textured art evokes a traditional quilt in this ode to coastal Canada and to the days spent with an attentive, caring older person.Author Biography
Karla Courtney grew up in Toronto and spent summers in Arnold's Cove, Newfoundland. Her career started with a wool triangle--which she accidentally made while trying to knit a scarf but kept adding stitches! She rolled the triangle into a cone, sewed the edges together to turn it into a hat, and wrote up the pattern. She's been making beanies and books ever since. She lives in England.
