The Little House
of Virginia Lee Burton
Description
Virginia Lee Burton won the Caldecott Medal in 1943 for her memorable picture book The Little House, a poignant story of a cute country cottage that becomes engulfed by the city that grows up around it. The house has an expressive face of windows and doors, and even the feelings of a person, so sheâs sad when sheâs surrounded by the dirty, noisy cityâs hustle and bustle: âShe missed the field of daisies / and the apple trees dancing in the moonlight.â Fortunately, thereâs a happy ending, as the house is taken back to the country where she belongs.
