Everywhere I Call Home

This lyrical picture book celebrates multicultural identity and the joys of being from more than one country.

An Indian American girl explores what "home" means to her as she travels between two worlds: In America, she collects pinecones, eats sweet honey sticks at the farmer's market, and rides her bike down rolling hills with her friends. In India, she savors jalebis from street hawkers, smells the scent of jasmine in the air, and plays tag in crisscross lanes with her cousins. For her family, "home" is both America and India at the same time, and she doesn't have to choose just one!

With poetic text and vibrant illustrations, this picture book offers an affirming message about being from more than one place and belonging to more than one culture. Home is so much more than just a place on a map: It's wherever your heart lives!
