Houses Floating Home is both whimsical and mysterious. Take some time and go on a journey of discovery through a black-and-white pencil world that is more colorful than you might suspect. The illustrations engage through the logic of dream and association, encouraging the reader to create her own stories, while imagining various possibilities.

Einar Turkowski grew up in a small town near Kiel, Germany. His first book, It was Dark and Eerily Quiet, received several international awards. All of his work is created using graphite pencils.

Reviews for Houses Floating Home

This German import unfolds in dreamlike double-page spreads. [...] There is much to consider in these spacious, monochromatic pictures. Kirkus Reviews Turkowski's finely detailed graphite pencil work offers ambiguous scenarios that are open for readers' interpretations and speculations, each a gateway to even more possibility. Publishers Weekly What does it mean? [...] Who cares? These majestically evocative images are smile-inducing works of genius. They are phenomenally gorgeous without a doubt, and equally baffling, which is half the fun.[...] They command wonderment and, despite yourself, may inspire you to remember how you saw the world as a kid.
