A tree has bloomed on a city block outside a house for many years. Inside that house, several generations of a family have grown up. Grandma and Grandpa arrived at the house from a country far away, and Mom and her brothers played on the steps on warm summer days. This little girl learned how to walk on that street, too. Hyewon Yum's This is Our House is a warm story with spare text that follows a family through seasons and generations, from the early days of immigration to the times that made their house into a home.

《这是我们的家》是美国新生代童书作家兼插画家廉惠媛的绘本作品。它记录了一家三代人的共同生活记忆，完美呈现了一座房子变成一个家的过程：外公和外婆从很远的地方搬来这所房子，妈妈在和她的兄弟姐妹在这里出生，在门外的街上学走路，在门前的台阶玩耍，在厨房吃美味的饭菜……而我也在这所房子出生，在同一条街上学走路。现在，我们一家人仍然住在这所房子里，这是我们的家！
廉惠媛的这部作品，文图结构完美对称，创作技法娴熟。她用温暖明亮的颜色和生动细腻的笔触，跨越四季，记录着几代人的成长。就像一个小女孩，带着我们翻阅她的家族相册。整本书虽只言片语，但温暖至极。
