Sample Text from The Best House of All – A picture book for young architects
I am an architect.
Architects design and make buildings because
they like buildings and houses.
Just like I do.
Which is why Ma calls me her ‘little architect’.
To build a house, you need space in some place.
<End of Page 2 of The Best House Of All>
At the end of the book, different types of houses are described, eg:
Yurt: Found in Mongolia, yurts are made with a wood frame and thick mats. The parts of the yurt are light enough to be carried on horses and yaks.
Teepee: Made with long poles and animal hide by the Native North American Tribes in the plains, this is another house that can be packed up and carried around!
