Summary: Fierce and tender, this beautifully illustrated picture book depicts the journeys of woodland animals as they seek the safety of home in a wild, unpredictable world. Birds risk the elements to fly south for the winter. Rabbits flee wolves to find warm, safe havens in the burrows. Wolves race the threat of hunger before seeking their dens. All are parents teaching their young the ways of survival in a dangerous world. In the end, each pair of animals finds the comfort of home in each other, reinforcing the depth of the bond between parent and child. With soft and stunning art, this book is a giftable meditation on the fierce beauty of life and the love we find as we seek the way home.


My Review




The Road Home is a beautifully written tale filled with amazingly detailed forest animals all seeking the safety of home. 

The book shows the gentle love parents have for their young as well as their fierce desire to protect them from the dangers that surround them. 

The watercolor illustrations are absolutely stunning and will easily captivate little ones. 

I highly recommend picking up a copy of The Road Home
