Homesick (Pre-order)
A heartfelt and imaginative story about a child’s first night away from home, Homesick offers a fresh perspective on a familiar childhood milestone.
Poppy is excited for her very first sleepover at G-Pa and Mimi’s house. She plans to bake bread, gather pinecones, and read all the books she can find. But back at home, everything feels quiet and empty without her.
As Poppy enjoys her adventure, Home tries to stay busy until she returns. Told with warmth, humor, and tenderness, this story explores the mixed emotions that can come with being away from home for the first time.
