A Room of Your Own

Illustrates the many ways to claim a space for oneself--as not all rooms require four walls and a roof to think, to dream, or to be.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A picture book about the places we go to create, inspired by Virginia Woolf and her noted essay. Sometimes Virginia Woolf wrote her stories in a garden shed. Sometimes she wrote them among stacks of books in a cool basement.

And you? Where do you go to think, to dream, to be? The shade beneath a tall tree? The brick step on a city stoop? The cosy spot beneath the kitchen table? Or inside the night’s deep dark? Not all rooms require four walls and a roof.

Inspired by the writer Virginia Woolf and her celebrated essay, A Room of One’s Own, A Room of Your Own is about the importance of claiming a space for oneself.
