A House Blessing

by Welleran Poltarnees

This book blesses the physical house and the protection it offers, wishing for its inhabitants ""a full portion of life's beauty."" It then grows more specific, hoping for kindness, companionship, peace, orderliness and the happiness that overflows into celebration. Poltarnees, drawing upon his library of antique images, has added pictures which best give each thought its most vivid reality. This book makes an excellent gift for any house.

The blessing is lovely. The pictures are pretty but all white people.

done in 1920s style including costuming, this is a beautiful book especially for memory care story hours. But children will quietly enjoy the rich illustrations and spare text as well.
