In this very special anthology of beautifully poetic short stories, thirty distinguished authors and illustrators explore the unique and varied meanings of home. Their touching words and magnificent art affirm the importance--and joy--of having a place to call one's own.
Culturally diverse, multi-representative, and socially inclusive, this book is nourishment for the young soul.
At a time when displacement and homelessness remain painfully present in our society, this classic anthology is indispensable.
The distinguished contributors to this collection include:
Home can be. . .
playing on the stoop of your building,
sitting in your grandmother's kitchen,
or hiding under your back porch stairs.
