Book excerpt: Grammy Award winner Rhiannon Giddens celebrates Black history and culture in her unflinching, uplifting, and gorgeously illustrated picture book debut. I learned your words and wrote my song. I put my story down. As an acclaimed musician, singer, songwriter, and cofounder of the traditional African American string band the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Rhiannon Giddens has long used her art to mine America’s musical past and manifest its future, passionately recovering lost voices and reconstructing a nation’s musical heritage. Written as a song to commemorate the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth—which was originally performed with famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma—and paired here with bold illustrations by painter Monica Mikai, Build a House tells the moving story of a people who would not be moved and the music that sustained them. Steeped in sorrow and joy, resilience and resolve, turmoil and transcendence, this dramatic debut offers a proud view of history and a vital message for readers of all ages: honor your heritage, express your truth, and let your voice soar, even—or perhaps especially—when your heart is heaviest.

Harper decides to get away for the summer and joins a volunteer program to build a house for a family in Tennesee who lost their home in a tornado. (Not that she knows a thing about building a house.) Soon she's living in a funky motel and laboring long days in blazing heat with a quirky, terrific group of kids. Working alongside Teddy, the son of the family for whom they are building the house, Harper and Teddy's partnership turns into a summer romance. Learning to trust and love Teddy isn't easy for Harper, but it's the first step toward finding her way back home.

Book excerpt: Most people dream of building their own custom home, customized to fit their lifestyle perfectly. But for Ryan Haag, life as a U.S. Navy Officer makes building a custom home impossible. There is little point in investing in an expensive, customized home when the Navy sends you to a completely new location every 3 years.But a change in life circumstances suddenly gives Ryan the chance to build the home of his dreams. Having prepared for years for this very moment, Ryan is suddenly awash in loan documents and building contracts, and its not long before he's deep into the murky world of home builders. Soon it becomes obvious that this process won't be easy. Challenges abound, from shifty city bureaucrats that throw up roadblocks when least expected to a mortgage company and builder fighting with each other. All of Ryan's preparation is put to the test as he navigates the complicated process of building a custom home, from scratch on a virgin piece of land and with a limited budget."To Build A House" explores the glossed over details of home building. This isn't a fancy home building novel with an unlimited budget and expert building crews. This book shows what happens when it all goes wrong. Nothing comes easy in this home building process. It's hard, exhausting work managing a project that will be your "forever home." But nothing in life worth doing comes easy, and this book celebrates the success at the end of a hard fought victory.If you want a real story of a real person with real constraints navigating the process to build a home while balancing work, family and just general life challenges, this book won't disappoint.
