A Story That Sparks Empathy
Through simple yet profound storytelling, What Shape is a Home? Takes young readers on a journey to explore different interpretations of home. It asks an important question – what does home truly mean? Is it just four walls and a roof, or is it something deeper?
By presenting this topic in an accessible way for children, the book fosters understanding and compassion for those who may not have a place to call home.
