When a woman appears with a sleeping bag, living in a shop doorway, Jess is full of questions. Where is her home? Why did she leave? And what will happen when the snow comes? Inspired by a case of unkindness towards an unhoused person outside a bookshop, witnessed by the author and her daughter, this sensitive and nuanced picture book encourages compassion and embracing differences. Told from a child's perspective, we learn together that everybody has a story and a personal concept of what 'home' is. "Grace's story is nuanced, and readers will appreciate the depth of emotion conveyed by the illustrations. These provide an entry for conversation about the complexities of poverty, trauma, emigration, and inadequate support for unhoused people."― Kirkus Reviews Kathryn White grew up in the Midlands of England and now lives in Wells with her husband. Inspired by her children and grandchildren, she has written more than thirty children's books, almost all of which feature animals as the main characters.
