The House Without Lights

We would have never imagined what our house would be thinking when we decorate it with lights and other decor for some celebrations, meanwhile, we don't do it for some other festival or holidays. The main character in this story is the 'House'!
Title: The House Without Lights
Author: Reem Faruqi

Publisher: Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) / Macmillan Kids
The house is thrilled and really excited when Huda and her family move in right before the Christmas holidays. During the winter holidays, the house expects to be decorated with garlands, lights, and whatnot because ultimately, this house also wants to look beautiful like most of the other highly decorated houses in the neighborhood.
However, this wish doesn't get fulfilled; the house is sad and doesn't seem to 'understand' why only this house was not decorated.
The house had to wait until Eid arrived!
Certainly, love and togetherness are always there, year round. It doesn't necessarily depend on one celebration or a particular holiday!
📚 Pensive way of storytelling with captivating illustrations.
📚 Every family celebrates joy and togetherness in their own way.
📚 Recommended for kids ages 4+
