*Signed Bookplates + Activity Sheet!*

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. And you? 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 night’s deep dark? Not all rooms require four walls and a roof. Inspired by the writer Virginia Woolf and her celebrated essay, “A Room of One’s Own,” A Room of Your Own is about the importance of claiming a space for oneself.

Edward ★★★★★

The signed bookplate inside the cover makes it feel like a little keepsake rather than just another picture book. My son picked the garden shed page as his favorite spot to "write," and we've read it at bedtime four nights straight.

Daniel H. ★★★★★

My daughter now asks to "go write in her shed" every afternoon, which is basically the whole point of this book. The activity sheet kept her busy for an hour after we finished reading, and the signed bookplate made it feel like a real keepsake.

Alexander P. ★★★★★

The signed bookplate is a lovely touch, and the activity sheet gave my niece and me something fun to do together after we finished reading. It’s a gentle, thoughtful way to introduce Woolf’s ideas to a young mind, and the garden shed detail really stuck with her.
