Henry the bear builds a cabin with help from his friends. A thoughtful meditation on what a home can be, inspired by the life of Henry David Thoreau.


"Johnson's singular illustrations of the changing seasons exhibit the planed surfaces of cubist paintings. Each scene sparkles as if viewed through multifaceted glass." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review


Inspired by the life of Henry David Thoreau and illustrated with nature-filled paintings by author and artist D. B. Johnson, Henry Builds a Cabin is a thoughtful exploration of what really makes a home.


When Henry decides to build a cabin in the woods, he gets help and a lot of advice from his friends. But Henry has his own ideas about what makes a perfect home: for him, the forest is a bigger home than any house could ever be.
D. B. Johnson has been a freelance illustrator for more than twenty years and has done editorial cartoons, comic strips, and conceptual illustrations for magazines and newspapers around the country. Mr. Johnson's first picture book, Henry Hikes to Fitchburg, was a New York Times bestseller and a Publishers Weekly bestseller, as well as an American Bookseller "Pick of the Lists." Henry Hikes to Fitchburg also won numerous awards, including the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Picture Books and the Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award. Mr. Johnson lives in New Hampshire.
