Home
By Carson Ellis
The Story
A gentle tour of homes of every kind — a house in the country, an apartment in the city, a shoe, a boat on the sea, even a home in myth or in an artist's own studio.
Why It's Special
For the kid who asks a hundred questions about where people and animals live, this book hands back a hundred wondrous answers.
- Big idea: Home isn't one fixed thing — it takes as many shapes as the people and creatures who live there.
- Vibes: Quiet, dreamy, and wide open — a book that invites lingering on every page.
Perfect For Kids Who
- enjoy looking closely at richly detailed illustrations
- like to imagine faraway or fantastical places
- are working on understanding that families and homes look different
- respond well to quiet, open-ended books without a set plot
