Welcome to Litsy!

“Our homes tell us where we come from, and they‘re a part of who we are. They‘re made of earth, wood, water, or stone, yet each is unique, just like the people who live inside.”

“If You Lived Here“ helps children appreciate the beauty of diversity and the ways people adapt to their surroundings. It invites young readers to understand and respect different lifestyles and communities worldwide.

Through beautifully illustrated pages, this book explores fascinating homes from around the world, showing how people build different kinds of houses to suit their environments, cultures, and traditions. From adobe houses in New Mexico to floating houses in Peru, each home tells a story of the people who live there and their way of life. The book provides an engaging look at architecture, geography, and cultural diversity.

Not a quote, but a great illustration!

I would love to know more about the materials used to create the pictures.

I could spend hours looking at this book. The illustrations are more the collage photographs and makes it so intriguing and appealing. The information that is provided is concise, but detailed enough that it has you looking in the pictures for every little detail.

#NewHogwartsAdventure Day 3: #Houses Of the World feature 16 different types of home, yet somehow I felt like I traveled the world a bit just by feasting my eyes on various houses – from a palace with a drawbridge and a moat in La Brede, France – to humble cave dwellings in Andalucia, Spain.
