"Graham Nash has given us wonderful music with his time in Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. It is from this musical group that the iconic song Our House was derived. This lavishly illustrated and beautifully rendered book explores the lyrics visually. What a wonderful job Nash and his illustrator have done here!"
—Jackie Taylor, Educator

"My parents are big CSNY fans and loved this song. I picture this book as being something that can bring grandparents and grandchildren together for a little quality reading and music time they will both appreciate!"

"A charming, sweetly illustrated children’s book featuring the lyrics of Graham Nash’s song, OUR HOUSE. Perfect for those, like me, who would love to have a keepsake about the song they love so well, and who wish to share it with the children in their life. Enchanting!

"Graham Nash and Hugh Syne have taken Nash’s 1971 hit with CSNY and made it into a beautiful children’s book. Most of us are familiar with the melody and lyrics so you would probably find yourself singing along to the words; I know I certainly did.
"The pictures are lovely with a lot of detail so that you can find yourself lost in them. I imagine they would be very stimulating for a young imagination. That is if you actually let a child have this book rather than keeping it for yourself. And, that’s probably why I haven’t rated it higher. Our House is a very, very pretty little book with the wonderful lyrics and, while I could see you having a sing-a-long with a child, it feels more like a present for the adult rather than the intended audience.
"I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review."
—Sascha Darlington, Reviewer at Sascha Darlington's Microcosm Explored
"Marketed as a picture book, this wonderfully illustrated story behind the history of the iconic and 50-year-old song “Our House” is the surprise sleeper of the summer — and will touch deeply readers of all ages... That Hugh Syme captures in art the essence of the words is a masterwork. This is a book we needed today, and although the word is overused in marketing and beyond, it is, and will be, transformative." —Tom Mayer, Mountain Times
