House of Joyful Living

High on the roof of an apartment building is a garden where neighbors come to laugh, to dance, and to share stories of helping others, breakfasts of challah and herring, and, once a summer, a Roof Party! Surrounded by loving adults, a girl with cabbage curls feels she lives "on top of the world in paradise." But something is about to change. Mama's belly is growing bigger and bigger! Can the girl share her mama and papa, and her wonderful rooftop world, with a new baby? Based on the author's own New York City childhood, this warm and spirited story with bold art in the style of public murals is a joyous and heartfelt celebration of community.Schotter, Roni is the author of 'House of Joyful Living ', published 2008 under ISBN 9780374334291 and ISBN 0374334293.
