The Place We Call Home

By Allison A. Perry

The Place We Call Home is the first book in a global children's series exploring UNESCO Biosphere Reserves around the world-places where people, nature, and culture live in balance.The series invites children and families to slow down, observe, and listen to what "home" means in a shared landscape. Through everyday moments, young readers discover how forests, waters, wildlife, and communities are connected-and how caring for one another begins with caring for the place we live. With interactive and educational materials about biosphere reserves and bucket lists for when you visit the place, this is more than just a book. It's an experience.

Designed for read-aloud and independent reading, these books gently introduce big ideas like stewardship, belonging, and environmental responsibility in a way that feels personal, hopeful, and grounded in real places. These books provide a stewardship checklist, a family bucket list, and family promise to help raise children with purpose.

This first title begins a growing journey. Each future book in The Place We Call Home: UNESCO Biosphere Reserves Around the Globe will explore a different biosphere reserve, sharing local voices, landscapes, and stories to help raise thoughtful, curious "soft citizens" of our shared planet.
