Picture Book
Sam doesn’t think there are creepy creatures living in his closet. He knows there are. They wait for darkness to come, for his parents to say good night and leave him alone in his room, and then they emerge…. Nobody believes him. Not his parents, his grandma, or even his best friend, Evie. Sam is sure the creatures will come for him if he’s alone, but he may end up learning that there’s more to these so-called monsters than he thinks.

At Home on the Water?offers a history of coastal living and features twelve homes on the water on both coasts and?the gulf. This stunning title focuses on both the design of the homes and the way the homeowners live in them, embellished by interviews with?homeowners, designers, and/or?architects.
