Carson has been awarded silver medals by the Society of Illustrators for her work on Wildwood Imperium and on Dillweed's Revenge by Florence Parry Heide. Despite the slight adult essence; children will love the large, colorful, and detailed watercolor paintings that cover the pages.

These cookies help provide information on metrics the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc. The picture book debut of Carson Ellis, acclaimed illustrator of the Wildwood series and Lemony Snicket's The Composer is Dead, this is a gorgeous, imaginative celebration of the many possibilities of home. Author/illustrator Carson Ellis adds many little informative features to let you know about life in each type of home. As a debut, I found Ellis' concept of what home means to different people a powerful and thought-provoking discussion. I imagine kids might want to know, to name but a few things: What is this Atlantis that looks so intriguing?Is the pairing of an old sailing ship with people living in a wigwam an intentional reference to first contact between Europeans and Native Americans?

Therefore, the illustrations in “Home” are very much in the hipster-indie art realm and can be imagined being sold on Etsy. Recommended to fans of Ellis' artwork, or to those who have enjoyed Jon Klassen's books, which have a very similar visual feeling to them.I don't know what it was about it (something about the shape of the lines maybe) but I could honestly look at it all day; I want to frame it and put it on my wall. Home” is an oversized juvenile picture book with very little text targeting very young children mostly in the 4-6 age bracket. Addendum: I see that Home has been criticized for some stereotyping, when it comes to who lives where - a young girl of color living in a graffiti-covered urban apartment building, for instance - as well as some poorly thought out juxtapositions. The illustrations are mainly whimsical depictions of various types of homes, of both people and animals, around the world. Others are uncomfortable stereotypes, and should be discussed at length with your child while reading together.

I originally brought this book because of a recommendation by OwlCrate, I'm so glad I did as Home was absolute perfection. Home” is recommended to introduce children to the concept of unique homes and would be exceptional in a situation where a family is intending to move. Discussion: I could spend hours looking at the pictures in this book, ferreting out half-hidden delightful details.We use Google Analytics to see what pages are most visited, and where in the world visitors are visiting from.
