Product Description

Eliza Wheeler’s gorgeously illustrated book tells the story of what happens when six-year-old Marvel, her seven siblings, and their mom must start all over again after their father has died. Deep in the woods of Wisconsin they find a tar-paper shack. It doesn’t seem like much of a home, but they soon start seeing what it could be.

During their first year it’s a struggle to maintain the shack and make sure they have enough to eat. But each season also brings its own delights and blessings–and the children always find a way to have fun. Most importantly, the family finds immense joy in being together, surrounded by nature. And slowly, their little shack starts feeling like a true home–warm, bright, and filled up with love.

Reviewer: Ella Bechard (Age 8)

Home in the Woods is a story about a mom and her children surviving in the forest after their dad has passed away. They find a shack to live in and do chores through out the different seasons so that they have food, water, and warmth. Do you think they will be able to live happily ever after as a family?

Home in the Woods is one of my favourite stories because the pictures are very nice. The family always helps each other even when things are hard and that makes me feel happy. Families are important because they were made by God, and I like that the author says their Dad is with the angels.
