The Road Home
The Road Home | Katie Cotton
3 posts | 5 read
Fierce and tender, this beautifully illustrated picture book depicts the journeys of woodland animals as they seek the safety of home in a wild, unpredictable world. Birds risk the elements to fly south for the winter. Rabbits flee wolves to find warm, safe havens in the burrows. Wolves race the threat of hunger before seeking their dens. All are parents teaching their young the ways of survival in a dangerous world. In the end, each pair of animals finds the comfort of home in each other, reinforcing the depth of the bond between parent and child. With soft and stunning art, this book is a giftable meditation on the fierce beauty of life and the love we find as we seek the way home.

I'd be more inclined to call this a poem with illustrations. The rhyming couplet certainly feature in children's books, but something about the wording and the content (very young readers might have to be reassured at one point that the bunnies will be okay) feels more like a poem that many ages would identify with. Something earthy, yet ethereal, delicately organic, about the art. If you're looking for seasonal reads, try this one in winter!

I loved this one. It was my favorite of the library books I picked out for my kid. It had pretty and soft illustrations, it rhymes, it teaches a little about nature (although the idea of wolves hunting bunnies to eat may be a little harsh for some smaller kids - mine likes nature shows so she was fine) and it has a very sweet message. I plan to buy us a copy. #librarybooks
