Homes Around the World

By Ellen Lawrence

In this beautiful photographic book, young readers will discover that there are many different types of places and structures that children and their families call home.

Readers will learn about homes such as the wood and mud hut homes of the Himba people in Namibia, houseboat homes in Cambodia, colorful wooden houses in icy Greenland, crowded city homes, and Mongolian nomad tent homes. This book will also explore what it is like to live in a temporary tent home in a refugee camp or a makeshift slum home, that's built from trash, in Delhi, India. The book includes a world map that pinpoints where every family and home that's featured in the book comes from.

This book celebrates the importance of our homes and asks young readers to think about what home means to them and to other children. Supported by stunning photographs, the accessible text helps kids understand that a home isn't always a house or an apartment
