How will the showdown between the child and the monster end? Children's imaginations truly go beyond imagining. Just as a simple hair dryer can transform into a monster that attacks the family with loud noise and gusts of wind, children see everyday objects from all kinds of angles, imagining them in all kinds of shapes and weaving them into their own stories. The characters or objects born from this imagination might be seen as something to fear, something to bravely overcome, or even a secret friend to confide in. One Day, At Our House playfully captures this boundless, endlessly inventive imagination of children through its cheerful and vivid illustrations.
