You Are Home With Me written by Sarah Asper-Smith will always have a home on my bookshelf. Written from the viewpoint of the parent/caregiver, it is meant to be read to the child. Every child deserves to feel secure and cared for, regardless of the world around them and what might be happening in their lives. This book delivers that message and more. I’d recommend this to any parent, but especially to the parents of children experiencing change, loss, or insecurity.

The illustrations by Mitchell Watley are absolutely beautiful, capturing the bond between each animal and it’s parent. Small bits of information about the animal depicted are found on each page. They’re not critical pieces of the story, but they are welcome and educational.

What a lovely book! The concept is adorable and the illustrations are SO sweet.
While it's not necessarily a story with a plot, it's still such a nice book for children who want to learn more about wildlife and animal habitats.. It provides basic information for younger kids and then goes a little bit deeper for the older kids to get more information about the animals.

When I have kids, this will definitely be a book I'll want to have in my personal library for generations. :)

I had loaned the author's previous book, "I Would Tuck You In" from the library last year and loved it so when I saw a new book by the author I jumped at the chance to request. I couldn't have loved this any more as it's perfect for my daughter who loves animals (particularly pictures of animal parents and their babies). Each page has a different animal and where they live with a little description of how they build their home or some other factoid to educate the reader about that particular animal. The illustrations are STUNNING and I really liked how they were animals that are different to where I live.

This is a perfect book to read with a child to help further their love of animals and nature. It has a very touching sentiment and is something I will be sure to buy for our library.
