This sweet author-illustrator debut celebrates imagination, the magic of friendship, and all the different ways we make a new place feel like home.
Inspired by the stories her father told her about moving from Puerto Rico to New York as a child, Zara Gonz lez Hoang\'s author-illustrator debut is an imaginative exploration of the true meaning of home..
How will he ever feel at home in a place with no green and no magic, where everything is exactly what it seems? Of course, not everything in the city is what meets the eye, and as Ren discovers, nothing makes you feel at home quite like a friend.
When Ren moves to Ava\'s city, he feels lost without his wild.
Home is where Ava is never lonely because there\'s always someone to share in her adventures.
Home is a place bursting with life, where people bustle in and out like a big parade.
For Ava, home is a brick and cement city, where there\'s always something to do or see or hear.
Home is where his imagination can run wild.
Home is a place of magic and wonder, filled with all the fantastical friends that Ren dreams up.
For Ren, home is his grandmother\'s little house, and the lush forest that surrounds it.
