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. Andyou? Where do you go to think, to dream, to be? The shade beneath a tall tree? The brick step on a city stoop? The cozy spot beneath the kitchen table? Or inside the nights deep dark? Not all rooms require four walls and a roof. Inspired by the writer Virginia Woolf and her celebrated essay, A Room of Ones Own,A Room of Your Ownis about the importance of claiming a space for oneself.
