This is a great children's book that portrays the importance of self expression in your home and how your home is a representation of the people who live in it. 

From the Back of the Book:

When Mr. Plumbean painted his house, the neighbors couldn't believe their eyes. "Plumbean has gone too far," they said. "He's popped his cork, flipped his wig, blown his stack, and dropped his stopper!"

Just remember what Plumbean had to say to that:

"My house is me and I am it. My house is where I like to be and it looks like all my dreams. "
