Description
Big or small, apartment or house, they鈥檙e all home.
Come inside one boy鈥檚 high-rise apartment complex, where his backyard is the space between his neighboring apartment buildings, and his basketball net is tucked into a bedroom. His parents sometimes complain their home is too small, but the boy鈥檚 balcony view of the city and the extended play space of the hallways are a few ways that make the boy鈥檚 house feel just the right size.
Our Big Little Place is a charming child鈥檚-eye-view tribute to the power of imaginative play and the diversity of the living spaces we call home.
