HomeHome

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. With lyrical text and expressive artwork, Matt de la Pena and Loren Long celebrate the beauty and love found in every home, no matter its size. They show how a home is more than just a place ... People can be a kind of home--a family and a community that cares for one another. And the natural world is another kind of home, a refuge we share with every living thing on Earth. This deeply moving ode to the universal pull of home, whatever its form, is destined to become a new classic that will be cherished by readers of every age.
