Synopsis:
An essential read for aspiring young architects and construction enthusiasts, from the author of the award-winning book Earth-Shattering Events.
The Mellon family have outgrown their flat. It’s time to move, but none of the houses they look at are quite right, so they decide to build their own house. Masha is an architect. She designs a house that accommodates the Mellons’ needs, their budget, and most importantly the environment. It is an eco-house.
The Mellons Build a House is a hugely enjoyable picture book that takes the reader step by step through the design and construction of a house. Heat pumps, solar panels, insulation, and rainwater harvesting are all explained and brought to life in Nik Neves’s warm, inclusive illustrations.
About the Author: Robin Jacobs is a children's television and book writer living on the outskirts of Bristol, UK, with her family and two dogs. She has an undergraduate degree in earth sciences and has authored books such as Earth-Shattering Events (Cicada, 2019) and The Mellons Build a House (Cicada, 2023).
