Description
On Paper Houses Street, the Origami-Pointderiz family lives in a grid-lined notebook with their daughter, Lili. Kind and caring, they try to help her come out of her shell by sharing their interests. But unlike her parents, Lili cannot handle wool or delicate paper because of her sandpaper skin. However, when Lili discovers wood, the reserved and solitary girl gains confidence and finally opens up to those around her.
Author Pierrette Dubé has created a unique world where everything is made of handcrafted materials, brought to life by Cara Carmina's adorable and vibrant dioramas.
