"A soul-warming treat." - Bookseller
Influential artist Carson Ellis makes her solo picture-book debut with a beautifully imaginative tribute to the many possibilities of home.
The picture book debut of Carson Ellis, acclaimed illustrator of the Wildwood series and Lemony Snicket's The Composer is Dead, this is a gorgeous, imaginative celebration of the many possibilities of home. Home might be a house in the country, a flat in the city, or even a shoe. There are clean homes, messy homes, sea homes and bee homes. Home resides on the road or the sea, in the realm of myth, or in the artist's own studio. This loving look at the places where people live brims with intriguing characters and is a visual treat that demands many a return visit.
"With the turn of every page, the definition of “home” broadens." - John Lithgow, New York Times Sunday Book Review
"Visually accomplished." – Kirkus Reviews
"Every page opening is a surprise and a delight, and even after many viewings, this panoply of dwelling places continues to enthrall and intrigue the viewer." – Children’s Books Ireland
"Ellis presents a dreamy, painterly meditation on the diversity and range of dwellings around the world and across time and imagination." – The Horn Book Magazine
