If You Live Here

A charming, classic picture book that imagines all the different types of places you could live—from the author of Lovely Beasts, Kate Gardner, and award-winning illustrator Christopher Silas Neal. The perfect next read for fans of Carson Ellis's Home.

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to live . . .

in a treehouse,

underground,

in a castle,

or even in a spaceship? 

If You Live Here is a whimsical tribute to the unique and special places we call home.
