Up One Pair of Stairs of My Bookhouse

There exists a particular magic in childhood: the discovery that books are doors into other worlds. Olive Beaupre Miller understood this intimately when she assembled My Bookhouse in the 1920s, curating a treasury of fairy tales, poems, and stories that would guide young readers up the 'pair of stairs' into literature. This second volume welcomes children into that enchanted space, offering tales where frogs become princes and simple rhymes teach the music of language. The collection progresses gently in difficulty, but the feeling is always one of invitation rather than instruction. Here are stories passed down through generations alongside poems that beg to be read aloud at bedtime. The world inside these pages feels warm, safe, and endlessly fascinating. For nearly a century, families have climbed these stairs together, discovering that the best children's literature doesn't just entertain it opens doors inside a child's mind that stay open forever. This is a collection for families who believe reading should feel like coming home.
