My House in the Sky - Hardcover

by Jeff Tedd Bock (Author), Althea Botha (Illustrator)

My House in the Sky is a tender, imaginative picture book that gently explores the emotional landscape of children navigating life between two homes. Told from the heartfelt perspective of an eight-year-old girl, the story follows a child who divides her time between her mommy's red house and her daddy's blue house-but also dreams of a third house that belongs entirely to her. In this magical purple house floating high in the sky, she gathers the best memories from both worlds: wild horses, a vintage van, a beloved kitty, summer tea parties, and a backyard big enough for joy to grow. It's a place where everything good is safe, remembered, and waiting.

Blending themes of resilience, memory, and emotional agency, My House in the Sky gives voice to children coping with change-especially those affected by divorce or family separation. With lyrical prose by Jeff Tedd Bock and dreamlike illustrations by Althea Botha, this book invites readers of all ages to imagine a place where love isn't divided-it's multiplied. It reminds us that home isn't always a single place. Sometimes, it's the safe space we create inside ourselves.

My House in the Sky is a story of hope, healing, and the power of choosing what we hold onto.
