Picture This: In Every House, On Every Street


This picture book's release has come at a perfect time, since many of us are spending a lot more time in our homes than usual! 

Every house on every street is different. But every one is a special home in its own unique way, because of the joy and life that happens inside them. This story celebrates the brilliance of the everyday - from dancing around the kitchen to pulling silly faces in bathroom mirrors. Bedrooms aren't just for sleeping - they're for building giant castles and bedtime chats. Dining rooms are for playing pirates and hiding under the table. The individual rooms are never names, just referred to as 'this room' on each page, allowing readers to match the pages to spaces in their own homes. This cleverly reflects that one reader's 'front room' might be another family's 'lounge' or 'sitting room', and not every house has a separate room for eating dinner in.

Lili La Baleine's artwork is beautiful. There is joy, fun and family in every picture. At the end of the story there are fold out pages with a view into lots of different houses which exemplify that there is no one way to be a family. Each page is full of tiny details and there is lots to keep little eyes busy. 


Thank you Little Tiger for sending us a copy to review

In Every House, on Every Street is written by Jess Hitchman and illustrated by Lili La Baleine
