About the Book



"House's roof blows off in a storm, but his animal and human neighbors help make him a new "hat.""--



Book Synopsis



An uplifting picture book debut about community and hope.

One windy day, House's hat blows clean off his head!

His friends are happy to help, but nothing they try seems quite right. Then the wind gets even stronger and thunder rumbles, making House wonder how he can keep his family safe and if he'll ever feel quite like himself again.

But just in time, more neighbors come to pitch in. And they have a plan for a new hat that fits him perfectly.

Sweetly illustrated and studded with humor, this tale of community is perfect for reminding readers that during tough times, neighbors can work together to help each other.



Review Quotes




"House's roof is blown off in a storm, but help arrives in many forms. . . Centering a house instead of a human as the main character provides a bit of distance and humor to a potentially scary topic . . . Hats off!" --Kirkus Reviews

"By having a personified house lose its hat rather than its roof, this scary situation becomes more humorous . . . The house's sassy reactions and eventual optimism could be comforting for children who are afraid of storms or whose homes have experienced damage." -Booklist

"On a blustery day, House's hat (or roof) blows right off, making House feel very, very exposed. . . Santiago's tender and funny images, digitally drawn but reminiscent of chalk pastels, deftly give personality to House and everyone around him, and . . . visual humor abounds. . . House's feelings are clear as a cloudless sky, its face (made of two window eyes and a front door mouth) conveying everything from sadness to gratitude. While the diverse group of human characters do their part to help House out, this is his story, and he's a charming star. Think of this as a sillier grandchild of Virginia Lee Burton's The Little House, with which it would pair perfectly for storytime." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
