A playful and inclusive journey through the many shapes and meanings of a house.
A House is a Mountain is a Hat is a book to be seen, read, experienced, and felt in many ways. Designed for children aged 6 to 10, it explores the house and its multiple dimensions – its components, basic shapes, personality, various types, and its connections with the street, neighbourhood, city, and landscape.
With vibrant colours and tactile elements, featuring large print and Braille text, the book is accessible to blind or visually impaired children, making it a valuable tool for teaching children with special needs.
