“The House By The Lake” Children’s Book - Reviews

“The summer house on Groß Glienicker See is a symbol of the 20th century. […] Intense moments from the perspective of the building make history come alive.” - Börsenblatt, Stefan Hauck

“An extensive picture break in which Thomas Harding tells German history, impressively accompanied by the wonderful illustrations by Britta Teckentrup, who manages to capture the mood of the time incredibly well.” - Maria Linsmann, Best 7

“The author and illustrator succeeds in transforming the historical space into a sensitive reading experience with minimal text and a coherent choice of day and season. […] This artfully woven picture book has many layers and a lot to tell. It offers a sensitive, first introduction to our contemporary history and tells poetically about the passing of time, the life of people in it, the importance of looking back and remembering, but above all about the happiness of preservation.” - Katrin Rüger, Buchpalast Munich

“Telling in a child-friendly and warm-hearted way and beautifully illustrated.” - Borromedia
