Title: Project Row Houses / Julie Knutson.
Description: Ann Arbor, Michigan : Cherry Lake Publishing, [2021]. | Series: Changing spaces | Includes index. |
Audience: Grades 4-6 | Summary: “Learn more about how Houston’s Project Row Houses went from
abandoned historic housing to vibrant art center and studio space. Explore the logistics of repurposing the
land and buildings and meet the people who made it happen. The book showcases a range of 21st century
skills—from “Flexibility & Adaptation” to “Creativity & Innovation”—and shows how moving away from a tear-
down culture towards one of reuse helps tackle a host of critical challenges facing our planet and population.
Thought-provoking questions and hands-on activities encourage the development of critical life skills and
social emotional growth. Books in this series include table of contents, glossary of key words, index, author
biography, sidebars, and infographics”—Provided by publisher.
