Home: a story of resilience and healing

Written by Carrie Barnes & Illustrated by Lyn Meredith

A child’s home is their center, their nest, and where they feel the most comfortable in the world. A young boy struggles to find his way through the devastating loss of his home. As he ventures into new spaces, he learns that when you talk about your pain, your heart can find home again.

 Based on the tragic events of the Santa Rosa, California, Tubbs Fire, Home is an uplifting story of resilience and healing in the face of a national disaster.
