When a young girl wishes for a quiet place to call her own, her
imagination takes her on a journey to discover the endless
possibilities. Author-artist Dan-ah Kim's stunning picture book is an
exploration of creativity, family, and the true meaning of home for fans
of Carson Ellis's Home and Kobi Yamada's What Do You Do with an
Idea?
Nari lives in a rowdy home in a crowded city. She sometimes wishes she
lived somewhere else, somewhere quiet that she has all to herself. So
when a train rumbles by her window, Nari goes on a journey to find her
dream home.
Could it be in a vibrant garden? A colorful coral reef under the sea?
Even up among the stars? Hmmm . . . what if those places are too
quiet, or so beautiful she wants to share them? Maybe the train can take
her back home, where she truly belongs.
Like Dan-ah Kim's debut The Grandmaster's Daughter, The Train Home
is an inventive picture book about creativity and imagination. The
accessible text is a terrific read-aloud that perfectly complements the
stunning and detailed artwork. The Train Home is an irresistible
choice for story-time sharing and anyone who has ever let their train of
thought wander.
