Book Description
for You Are Home by Bex Tobin Fine and Andrés F. Landazábal
From the Publisher
A beautiful and reassuring story for anyone who has ever looked for—and finally found—the place where they belong.
When a child loses their home, they embark on a journey toward rebuilding not only their sense of place but also their sense of belonging. As they meet other kids living in a variety of housing situations and their lives intersect, they wonder:
What is home? Is it a place? A person?
Is it the stories we tell or the artwork we create?
Or, is home a feeling, a sense of connection, and, ultimately, hope?
This moving picture book will reassure and inspire young readers going through housing transitions as well as anyone who has found community and “home” in unexpected places.
A CELEBRATION OF HOME: This engaging book explores the concept of home in a unique and wonderful way, immersing readers in a sense of community rather than an ideal definition of “home.”
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING: With its lyricism, accessible storytelling, and gorgeous illustrations, this uplifting book is just right for young readers learning to navigate friendship and a sense of belonging.
MEANINGFUL GIFT: An emphasis on connection and celebrating everyday moments makes this an affirming read and an excellent year-round gift for anyone facing change and new beginnings.
