Illustrated by
Chris Sasaki.
As an interracial family moves from an apartment in the city to a house in the country, Ledyard offers a meditation on the sense of comfort and belonging that home should evoke. Throughout, the poetic text satisfyingly delivers internal rhythms and rhymes, alliteration, and assonance at unexpected but just-right places. With a style recalling the work of Jon Klassen and Christian Robinson, Sasaki offers a rich interpretation of Ledyard's text.
