The best part, in my opinion, is the page where it says "Here is the key to the house" and it shows the mother kissing her sleeping child. Maybe I'm looking too deep into it, but I think the key is love. And because the house is filled with love, it is also a "home full of light." ( ) This was an artful little book, but I think the black and white palette combined with a POV that slowly creeps closer and closer into the house makes it a tad eerie. The repetative pattern could definitely be soothing to young readers, though! I think this is very much going to be a hit or miss with children. Swanson relies on classic nursery rhyme structure to drive the narratiev of this book, which makes it at once recognizable, but what takes this book to the next level are the illustrations by Beth Krommes. Her style immitates wood block printing (an early illustrative technique) and the highly textural nature of the images gives the story a weight and complexity that would not otherwise be present. Each image is in fact so dense with detail that they border on too much, but Krommes has pulled back just enough to toe the line. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
