"Home is where the heart is, and author and artist McClure portrays this ­message phenomenally through carefully chosen words and striking cut-paper art. Simple and beautiful, this story pays homage to nature and the adventures of childhood and adulthood and offers reassurance that refuge can always be found in nature and with a supportive community. Families and educators can use this book to explore the importance of home, community, and nature with younger readers; additionally, this book fits the narrow niche of picture books that would make great gifts for new graduates or other young adults embarking on new ­adventures. Beautiful and tranquil with a strong sense of place, this story honors growing up in nature and returning to the safe haven of family.".
