Home : What It Really Means
What makes a house a home? Is it the building itself, or the people who fill it with love?
In this gentle yet thought-provoking picture book, 2x New York Times bestselling author MeiMei Fox explores the many meanings of home through children’s conversations with adults. From grandparent’s lap filled with memories and treasures, to families rebuilding after a wildfire, to understanding that not everyone has a house, this book opens doors to important conversations about family, resilience, and compassion.
Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom discussions, or helping children process changes in their own living situations.
A portion of proceeds supports The Hope Foundation USA, a non-profit organization that provides safe, stable housing to street and slum-affiliated children in Kolkata, India.
"Home isn't a building or the things inside. Home is being together."
Parents & Includes discussion prompts to explore themes of family, community, housing insecurity, and what makes us feel safe and loved.
“Want to know a secret?” But other secrets are also where the animals have home, home when your house burns down, etc = home is love, togetherness, and ultimately in your heart
