Beautiful illustrations by the illustrator of the Wildwood Chronicles series . . . almost wood-cut in style mixed with a bit of slavic design.

Really like how Ellis's trademark symmetry and recurring patterns play out throughout the narrative. I especially enjoy how her definition of home extends to realistic and fictional spaces, but I find that for some readers, a few of the depictions may lapse into cultural stereotypes. Overall, not a bad first solo project.

Lovely illustrations, but no actual story or anything that makes sense.

The illustrations are lovely but the book as a whole felt very random. I think such a simple concept would have benefited from some sort of rhythm or rhyme scheme, without one it just felt thrown together with no real pattern or point.

Interesting folk-art-esque illustations, really great conceptions of what home means, so cool questions to the reader that could have great classroom connections, just thought the overall flow was a little awkward.

Aw geez, this book is so 100% Anthropologie, I want to be a hard case about it. But I like it. It's pretty and asks kids rhetorical questions.

A beautifully illustrated, rambly look at a wide variety of homes. Several pages beg the reminder that not all people who look like this live in that kind of home.
