Home - Matt De La Peña

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 ourselves--wherever they might be. \n*Beckons readers from the first page . . . Simply divine. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review \n \nHome is a tired lullaby \nand a late-night traffic that mumbles in \nthrough a crack in your curtains. \n \nHome is the faint trumpet of a distant barge \nas your grandfather casts his line \nfrom the edge of his houseboat. \n \nSo 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. It's the family that shows its love through small gestures every day. It's the community that sees one another through hard times. And it's the wonder of the natural world, a refuge we share with every living thing on Earth. \n \nWith lyrical text and expressive artwork, Matt de la Peña and Loren Long's 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. \n \nDon't miss the Spanish-language edition of this book, Hogar.\n
