A woman called asking if we knew the title of a picture book she saw in
a storytime with her daughter about 8 years ago - it didn't ring any
bells with any of the staff. Hoping you all can help... In the
book a
girl gets mad at her family and runs away to the woods. In the woods
she builds a beautiful house (with the help of animals?). Eventually
her parents find her and they decide to all live in the beautiful house
together.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,

Please search your memory for this:
Patron asked about a Noah's Ark book where at the end of the story,
The ark is tipped on its side, and the family lives out of it like
a house????
Thanks bunches,
