Praise

Praise for Being Home By Traci Sorell; illustrated by Michaela Goade:

American Booksellers Association May/June 2024 Kids’ Indie Next List
Kirkus Reviews 15 Best May Books for Young Readers

★ ”An evocative, heartwarming testament to the power of home and community.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★” It’s a joyful image of a family embracing change that examines “the rhythm of being home.” — Publishers Weekly starred review

★ “[With] lush, detailed illustrations…[the] girl’s imagination is rendered in a vibrant pink hue that is present in one way or another on every page. The family’s ‘new’ home is a place of community and warmth, a place where the ‘rhythm of home’ is palpable. Readers young and old will want to linger with these gorgeous pages, noting the rich textures and details.” — Booklist, starred review

★ “The author beautifully expresses core themes of family and the importance of full self-realization on ancestral land; in doing so, she echoes the oh-so-important rhythms which animate her characters. Goade’s mixed-media art is at once delicate and strong, with spirited, sparkling colors and a keen sense of motion that reinforces the text’s rhythm and energy…an exceptional offering, emphasizing the inherent rhythms and motions of life.” – Shelf Awareness, starred review

“Goade’s illustrations are warm, joyous, and vibrant. It’s a beautiful celebration of Indigenous culture and what it means to be home.” — Book Riot
