From the publisher

A beautiful and poignant meditation on what makes a home from Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant. There are so many things, both big and small, that make a place feel like home. Home is where you might have a special nickname or a special toy. It’s where you might have a snack or a nap or a bath–or all three! Whether home is a city apartment or a country cottage, it’s a place you want to return to again and again. Celebrate all kinds of homes–and all kinds of families–in this cozy, lushly illustrated ode to the universal feeling of being at home.
