The Road Home

32 pp. | Abrams | March, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-2374-2 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sarah Jacoby. In rhymed text that sometimes misses the mark, parent-child animal pairs flee dangers to go home. Hardship is emphasized in the refrain: "This road is hard, this road is long, / this road that leads us home." Watercolor and digital-media illustrations of barbed wire, prowling wolves, and dark shadows contribute to the feeling of fear, slightly mitigated by softly colored final pictures of safety.
