This lyrical picture book travels backwards through time!

MY BACKYARD USED TO BE is a lyrical picture book that follows an imaginative exploration of one yard going back in time like peeling layers of an onion. It used to be this, but before that it was also this! And before that … and so on. It’s brilliantly written and the illustrations fit it perfectly. Read the interview with the author and excerpts from the book here.
