Home Is a Door We Carry
Its exquisite, atmospheric collage art evoking feelings of displacement, this empathy-building picture book focuses on refugee families around the world. Children walk with bowed heads beside their parents, or sneak a few moments of play with other children, as they head for places far away from their first homes. They imagine that their homes miss them, too; they personify those longed-for places in their minds. Wistful and lyrical, the intermittent prose balances out the tough circumstances implied in quiet threads depicting tanks and hints of violence, imbuing the everychild’s innocent wish that all will find homes in time with added power.
