Home: A Collaboration of Thirty Authors & IllustratorsPaperback, 26 April 1996

In this very special anthology of beautifully poetic short stories, thirty distinguished authors and illustrators explore the unique and varied meanings of home. Their touching words and magnificent art affirm the importance--and joy--of having a place to call one's own.

playing on the stoop of your building,

sitting in your grandmother's kitchen,

or hiding under your back porch stairs.
