Illustrated by
Jane Dyer.
A home-away-home structure follows a little girl from the "house that's [her] home" to school and back, as she engages with her family, pets, and the world around her. Rhythmic text embraces childlike phrasing and captures the happiest parts of childhood's emotional landscape: "A friend is Your Friend / Who stays by your side." Soft gouache and pencil illustrations match the text's depiction of childhood idyll.
