THE HOUSE OF FOUR SEASONS
The House of Four Seasons (New York Review of Books, April 2017).
When Father, Mother, Billy, and Suzy go house hunting in the country, they
fall in love with a grand old house nestled among tall weeds and trees. The house is in need of repair and soon a carpenter, mason, and tinsmith come to set things straight, but it needs new paint too. The family agrees it would be more fun to paint it themselves, but no one can agree on the color, and to make matters worse, the hardware store only carries three colors: red, blue, and yellow! But Father has an idea. You'll see, he says, colors can do many tricks when they get together, and with a sudden flourish, Roger Duvoisin the magician reveals a color wheel in the midst of this cheerful tale.
Budding artists and engineers will love this surprising story, and adults would do well to note how Father arrives at a winning trifecta of negotiation, education, and thrift.
For nearly half a century, Roger Duvoisin has entertained children all over the world with his amusing stories and endearing animal personalties, such as Petunia, the silly goose, Veronica, the friendly hippo, Jasmine, the independent cow, and Crocus, the not-so-sure-of-himself crocodile. The Happy Lion, one of his most popular characters, resulted from a collaboration with his wife, Louise Fatio. He wrote and illustrated forty books, and illustrated over 100 more by other authors. He received the Caldecott Medal in 1947 for White Snow, Bright Snow and a Caldecott Honor in 1966 for Hide and Seek Fog. Today, his children's books
continue being released in new editions.
