Home can take many forms

Cindy Wume’s picture book opens up the idea of home beyond bricks and walls, using examples that range from an apple and a box to a reading nook and a hug. Peek-through pages and lift-the-flap features make those changing shapes part of the book’s physical experience, while the simple text creates room for conversations about what home means to different people. Its framing connects home with comfort and with navigating change, giving the subject a concrete, interactive form for young children.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring the idea of home or adjusting to change
  • Adults who want an interactive picture book to prompt conversations with children
  • Families, teachers, and librarians seeking a book with flaps and peek-through pages
