"An exploration of the various places, people, and feelings that create a sense of home and provide refuge in the face of instability"-- - Baker & Taylor
Celebrate the beauty and love found in every home, no matter its size, and see how people can be a kind of home, in a meditation on the places we feel most comfortable, loved and protected. Simultaneous eBook. Illustrations. - Penguin Putnam
From a Newbery Medal-winning author and a bestselling illustrator, the powerhouse duo behind the #1 New York Times bestseller Love, comes a deeply moving ode to the places we feel safe, loved, and true to ourselvesâwherever they might be.
*âBeckons readers from the first page . . . Simply divine.â âKirkus Reviews, starred review
Home is a tired lullaby
and a late-night traffic that mumbles in
through a crack in your curtains.
Home is the faint trumpet of a distant barge
as your grandfather casts his line
from the edge of his houseboat.
So begins this stirring celebration of home in its many forms. For home is an idea more profound than the walls we build up around ourselves. Itâs the family that shows its love through small gestures every day. Itâs the community that sees one another through hard times. And itâs the wonder of the natural world, a refuge we share with every living thing on Earth.
With lyrical text and expressive artwork, Matt de la Peña and Loren Longâs meditation on the universal pull of home, whatever its form, is destined to become a new classic that will be cherished by readers of every age.
