À propos de cet audio
From Newbery Medal-winning author Matt de la Peña, the author behind the #1 New York Times bestseller Love, comes a moving meditation on the places we feel most comfortable, loved, and protected—wherever that might be.
Home is a tired lullaby
and a late-night traffic that mumbles in
through a crack in your curtains.
Home is the faint trumpet of a distant barge
as your grandfather casts his line
from the edge of his houseboat.
With lyrical text, Matt de la Peña celebrates the beauty and love found in every home, no matter its size. They show how a home is more than just a place . . . People can be a kind of home—a family and a community that cares for one another. And the natural world is another kind of home, a refuge we share with every living thing on Earth.
This deeply moving ode to the universal pull of home, whatever its form, is destined to become a new classic that will be cherished by listeners of every age.
Ce que les critiques en disent
* "Beckons readers from the first page, capably pulling them from scenes of ordinary comforts to musings on sorrow and back . . . [H]ome becomes a quiet father’s gentle guidance, a hardworking grandma rolling tortillas, and a welcome from a kind teacher. These moments of simple yet exceptional connections among people, and between cities and nature, build to a crescendo that harkens back to the “thump, thump, thump” of the human heart—a potent reminder of life’s promises. Similarly, Long’s acrylic art transforms portraits of ordinary days and nights into formidable reveries, featuring folks varied in skin color and cultural background. Of course, the penultimate double-page spread framed around a child’s pensive face—Earth reflected in the character’s eyes—is the most astounding . . . Simply divine." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
* "A moving story about cultivating home in different places—one that leans into themes of healing, resilience, and finding center." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Poignant . . . Whether depicting calm or disaster, Long’s art is full of emotion, and each of his textured acrylic paintings is a masterclass in color and shading. The story [highlights] all of the wonder and beauty of our greater home, Earth, reminding us that though four walls may be lost, the concept of home is much bigger." —The Horn Book
