About the Book

ALSC Notable Children's Books List - Middle Readers (2025) A 2025 Mildred L. Batchelder Honor Book "Unites STEM learning with literary excellence . . . an essential purchase." -- School Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW) "[A] beautiful work of natural history." -- The Wall Street Journal "Astounding, unusual, and breathtaking dwellings."-- Shelf Awareness (STARRED REVIEW) "Stunning . . . An exceptional exploration." -- Booklist (STARRED REVIEW) A spectacular tour through the dwellings of twenty-seven different animals, from a hermit crab's secondhand shell to a beaver's lakeside dam to a comet moth's silk cocoon. Acclaimed creator Isabelle Simler presents a poetic journey through amazing animal homes across the world. In Europe, alpine marmots stay safe in underground refuges. In southeast Asia, Sumatran orangutans doze off in treetop bedrooms. In Mexico and the southwestern US, elf owls nest in holes in saguaro cacti. On every continent but Antarctica, honeybees mold wax into palaces for their queens. No matter where you travel, some creature is making an extraordinary place to call home. With connections to life cycles, camouflage, and other biological concepts, Home is a spellbinding showcase of the wonders of the natural world. Enchanting poetry, fascinating back matter, and intricately detailed art invite young readers to be amazed by the creativity and diversity of our animal neighbors. Cooperative Children's Book Center CCBC Choices List - Poetry (2025)

Review :
School Library Journal (starred review) "It takes brilliance to unite science and creativity, but Simler has done just that in a versatile work appropriate for English, writing, or science lessons. . . . An essential purchase; this standout work of illustrated poems encourages readers to consider wild creatures' homes and compare their similar needs to our own." The Marginalian "A vibrant catalogue of nature's creativity . . . Dazzling." Shelf Awareness (starred review) "Simler (Sweet Dreamers) depicts the adaptability and creativity of the animal kingdom through illustrations of astounding, unusual, and breathtaking dwellings...Brilliantly colored digital, pencil-like strokes layer together like grass in a woven nest to make up each of Simler's illustrations. Her poems combine imagery and habitat facts in a clever, often playful voice that encourages readers to see the wonder and fun of the natural world." The Wall Street Journal "[A] beautiful work of natural history." Booklist (starred review) "Stunning . . . An exceptional exploration of a delightfully diverse roundup of natural dwellings and their equally intriguing inhabitants." The Horn Book Magazine "Eye-catching . . . playful . . . creatures relate their stories with style." Kirkus Reviews "Standing out in beauty and breadth, a lyrical addition to the animal-homes shelf."
