What does it take to build a home? Bricks and concrete, windows and walls, glass and steel? Sometimes, home is something much more . . .

With spare, gentle text and colourful illustrations, this interactive picture book imagines the many different shapes a home can take, from an apple to an umbrella, a cardboard box, a cosy reading nook and finally a reassuring hug. Clever lift-the-flap and peek-through pages invite readers to uncover hidden surprises and unexpected delights.
