Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
It is 1637 and William and his family are leaving England for the New World. William is determined to build a house just like the one he left in England. It will be a house with a gently sloped, thatched roof, surrounded by trees. As the days wear on and the seasons change, William and his wife Elizabeth realize that living in the New World means adopting new ideas. Filled with illustrations rich with historical detail, this is a book for both class-room read-alouds and for up-close study.
Arriving in New England in 1637, William is determined to recreate his home in England but realizes that the climate requires modifications to it.
