The library mouse learns about architecture, homes, and renovations in this illustrated adventure. When Sam the library mouse and his friend Sarah wake to find the library being packed up to prepare for a major renovation, they realize they won’t have a home during the construction. So off they go in search of a new place to live. Sam knows research is key, so he finds books about architectural styles to get ideas for building a temporary home from objects found around the library. They build and live in a variety of houses: a castle, an igloo, a yurt, a modern house, and even a geodesic dome. But none feels like home to Sam. Finally, though, the renovation of the library is complete, and they can move back to their true home, the library! The book includes photos of the real house styles discussed in the text and a relevant glossary of architectural terms. Praise for Library Mouse: Home Sweet Home “Kirk’s familiar gouache illustrations maintain a mouse perspective filled with library details. This clever presentation of world housing types has three pages of backmatter that describes each style and its location. Not only is the story amusing, but the information will be useful in classrooms.” —Kirkus Reviews “Newcomers and fans of the previous titles will welcome this tale, and librarians will put it to good use in their research lessons.” —School Library Journal “This is a fine use of light fantasy to teach a little lesson about building structures, and it will be especially useful to those preparing children for the disruptions that come with home renovations.” —Booklist

A visual feast on 'the extravagance of the bohemian', the homes in this collection are a testament to personal style that readers will find inspiring and influential. Since the 1970s, Oberto Gili has been one of the most prolific lenses in the world of editorial photography, his lush images of fashion and interiors gracing the pages of House & Garden, Town & Country, and Vogue. This collection of his signature interior photography spans this significant career. Gili's passion for the grand, bold, and quirky granted him access to the inner sanctums of both high society and the bohemian demimonde. The selection includes numerous homes of French and Italian nobility, lords of the European and American creative class, and the photographer's own remarkable Piedmont farmhouse. This volume of Gili's best work is a sumptuous and voyeuristic study of his most arresting interiors and emphasizes the adventurous nature of both the homes and their occupants. These homes exude in turns grandeur, whimsy, and tranquility, each interior imbued with the unique style of its occupants. The book features more than 40 homes throughout the world--from New York penthouses and artist lofts to seventeenth-century Italian villas and country homes in Morocco--each personally selected by Gili and shown in full. Each house is accompanied by a short descriptive text by Susanna Salk. Sprinkled throughout the book are 10 short texts by selected homeowners (Isabella Rossellini, Mary Randolph Carter, Muriel Brandolini, Marella Caracciolo, Paul Fortune, and Beatrice Monti, among others) describing a personal history of the individual spaces.

This is a true-to-life story of a rebellious young girl who fell in love with a handsome young man, became pregnant and married at age 16, and who wanted only to make a happy life in her own “home sweet home” with her husband and children. Her life turns upside down when her husband becomes seriously abusive to her and her four children and she finds herself a victim of not only him, but of her own willfulness not to be proven wrong and her willingness to sacrifice even physical safety for the dream of a happy home. The pain causes her to seek salvation through God and her Savior Jesus Christ. She also finds the meaning of a mysterious prophetic dream she had when in the midst of her turmoil. The fact that she eventually realizes her dream of a “home sweet home” after many years of pain and sorrow is living testimony to the power of God in human life and the lessons of yielding to a higher power.

While writing Maxine's true-to-life story My Home Sweet Home: Surviving an Abusive Relationship, her heart was cleansed from deep hurt and hatred that nearly possessed her life. God's grace (unmerited favor) freed Maxine from sin and guilt. Believing Jesus Christ died on the cross, in her place, gave her a new life with Him. The years following have been filled with forgiveness and understanding in her family, a life committed to God with contentment to her church and family. Forgiveness rolls in like a tide, sweeping away all that would hinder us from knowing God.
