Hobonichi HON 2026 Virginia Lee Burton: The Little House [ENG/A6/Jan Start] HON

The children’s book The Little House by American author Virginia Lee Burton is now available on a Hobonichi Techo HON.

The Hobonichi Techo HON is a page-per-day type techo with a hardcover design already attached to the book.

The quaint little house, painted pink with a red chimney on its gray roof, rests on a hill in the peaceful countryside, surrounded by apple trees that transform beautifully with each season.

But over time, the horse buggies change to automobiles, the area around the house develops with train tracks and skyscrapers, and crowds of people hurry throughout the town. The book has been a long-beloved children’s book since being published many decades ago.




The front mimics the original book's cover, featuring its signature sky blue shade. The handwritten text enhances the design's warmth and charm. A glossy finish gives it the feel of a classic hardcover children’s book.

The back of the cover depicts a smiling sun that had been on the back cover of the original book. The design around the sun simultaneously looks like warm rays of light and a daisy like the ones blooming around the little house.




The year 2026 is foil-pressed in gold in a classic font.




The cover spine is designed after the spine of the original book, with handwritten letters and daisies on a white background and red wavy lines along the edges.

The story of The Little House is a perfect fit for the Hobonichi Techo, as the book reminds us of the beauty of morning and night, and of the four rich seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. We hope this techo fills you with the same warmth as the original book.
