I love this book so much and I’ve gifted it to all the babies in my life who are about to transition to a new home。 The illustrations are beautiful and the animal choice is excellent。 The picture book includes more facts about the animals （and maybe a few extra animals？） than the board book。 New home， transition， home， family， separation anxiety， animal-recognition， animal habitat， love， attachment， loyalty

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 I liked the illustrations in this book。 Very subdued but colorful。 The story was cute too。

I adore the variety of animals in You Are Home with Me。 Sarah Asper-Smith has chosen some wonderful animals to introduce to children。 From the tufted puffin， moose， flying squirrel and hoary marmot to （more widely known animals） like the lynx， grey wolf， and Arctic fox。 There is an unusual animal out there for every child to love and this book might help them choose！ （side note: I don't know how children today got so obsessed with llamas but it amuses me greatly， figure out what the next big ani I adore the variety of animals in You Are Home with Me。 Sarah Asper-Smith has chosen some wonderful animals to introduce to children。 From the tufted puffin， moose， flying squirrel and hoary marmot to （more widely known animals） like the lynx， grey wolf， and Arctic fox。 There is an unusual animal out there for every child to love and this book might help them choose！ （side note: I don't know how children today got so obsessed with llamas but it amuses me greatly， figure out what the next big animal for kids will be and you could be very rich if you market a toy right， lol） The actual story itself has a lovely flow and meter to it。 Perfect for the last bedtime story before sleep。 Each page also features a cute fact about the animal on the page。 For example， the flying squirrel fact indicates that they don't fly but glide between trees by putting their arms and legs out。 Again， I think， these are the kinds of things that kids will latch onto and love。 A solid choice for a bedtime story for any child。 Animals are universal and the illustrations of the baby animals are adorable。 Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley。 This is an honest and unbiased review。 。。。more

An elementary and up book about animals and where they make their homes complete with a brief nonfiction fact。

I felt like the cover was much prettier than the inside illustrations and that made me feel let down for some reason， but it was still cute and I liked that each page had an additional fact in smaller font

Sweet book about how animal parents make homes for their children。 Also gives some interesting facts about the animals portrayed。

Deep pigments and well defined illustrations greet the young learner in the book， You Are Home with Me by Sara Asper-Smith and Mitchell Watley， a book about animal homes。 The simple text and illustrations lend themselves to in depth discussions about what children hear or read and observe。 This book will spark inquisitiveness about animal habitats for ages 2 - 8。

Children are naturally curious and this book is a wonderful chance at a bonding experience with them especially after a visit to the zoo when the sights of so many animals are fresh in their minds。Gives children the comfort and reassurance that parents， even animal parents are there for their young and will nurture them。 Brilliantly illustrated for a better understanding of the materials you and your child or grandchild will read this one time and again。Published November 12th 2019 by Little Big Children are naturally curious and this book is a wonderful chance at a bonding experience with them especially after a visit to the zoo when the sights of so many animals are fresh in their minds。Gives children the comfort and reassurance that parents， even animal parents are there for their young and will nurture them。 Brilliantly illustrated for a better understanding of the materials you and your child or grandchild will read this one time and again。Published November 12th 2019 by Little BigfootI was given a complimentary copy of this book。 Thank you。All opinions expressed are my own。 。。。more

This is a warm and beautiful children’s book。As a licensed psychotherapist， I know that the feeling of a secure base for a young child is the foundation of a lasting attachment between child and parent。I see this as a book read to the child by a loving parent or other significant adult， building a sense of belonging and security that bodes well for the future。 The illustrations are just lovely， and there is information about animals and their homes that adds to the learning process。My thanks to This is a warm and beautiful children’s book。As a licensed psychotherapist， I know that the feeling of a secure base for a young child is the foundation of a lasting attachment between child and parent。I see this as a book read to the child by a loving parent or other significant adult， building a sense of belonging and security that bodes well for the future。 The illustrations are just lovely， and there is information about animals and their homes that adds to the learning process。My thanks to authors， publisher， and NetGalley for providing an advance copy to read and review。 。。。more

This was a perfect book to read to my granddaughter who loves animals。 Each page has a different parent and baby animal， showing where they live。 Each beautiful picture is accompanied by a short poem as well as a short fact about either the animal's habits or their home。 The animals were varied， from different locations as well as different species。 This is a perfect book to read with a child to help further their love of animals and nature。 It is also a beautiful story to share the love of pare This was a perfect book to read to my granddaughter who loves animals。 Each page has a different parent and baby animal， showing where they live。 Each beautiful picture is accompanied by a short poem as well as a short fact about either the animal's habits or their home。 The animals were varied， from different locations as well as different species。 This is a perfect book to read with a child to help further their love of animals and nature。 It is also a beautiful story to share the love of parent and offspring， no matter what species you are from。 I read this to my granddaughter and then read it again to both her and her older brother。 He also liked the story and the facts about the animals。 He also shared some facts that he knew as well。 A great book for any library， whether family， public or school。 The publisher generously provided me with a copy of the book upon request。 The rating， ideas and opinions shared are my own。 。。。more

A wonderful book for a young child。 The illustrations are so pretty。 This book introduces the child to animals and how their parents care for them。 The writting for each animal is easy for a child to understand and keeps their attention。 My neice really loved looking at the art work while it was being read to her。 A definite keeper。

Such a sweet story！ Great illustrations that are very realistic， and the choice of animal families is unique and informative。 I loved the little fun facts about every animal featured， and I learned several things I hadn’t known before！

This is an adorable picture book showcasing a variety of species nurturing their offspring。 Each page spread includes a gorgeous new image with a parent and young animal along with a factoid about their kind。 For example: Flying squirrels don't actually fly， but glide from tree to tree with their arms and legs outstretched。 The pages document all types of life from land dwelling animals， to birds， to sea creatures。 The beautiful illustrations provide soft， soothing colors with scenes in daylight This is an adorable picture book showcasing a variety of species nurturing their offspring。 Each page spread includes a gorgeous new image with a parent and young animal along with a factoid about their kind。 For example: Flying squirrels don't actually fly， but glide from tree to tree with their arms and legs outstretched。 The pages document all types of life from land dwelling animals， to birds， to sea creatures。 The beautiful illustrations provide soft， soothing colors with scenes in daylight， at nighttime， in the snow， and even underwater。 The final page concludes with what appears to be a human father and son and the sentiment of always having a home with a loving parent。 This is a very sweet book that would make a comforting read， including right before bedtime for younger children who need reassurance of being safe and loved。 Thanks to Netgalley， Sasquatch Books， Sarah Asper-Smith， and Mitchell Watley for providing me with an e-ARC for review。 This title releases November 12， 2019。For more children's literature， middle grade literature， and YA literature reviews， feel free to visit my personal blog at The Miller Memo！ 。。。more

What a sweet book。 This is perfect for children of all ages—especially those who are interested in the animal world。 The artwork is beautiful。 I feel like this kind of illustration is seldom seen today。 It reminds me of a personal favorite: Sheila McGraw （and Robert Munsch’s） I Love You Forever。 This book strikes me as an instant classic。 And I love the animals included！

You Are Home with Me is an absolutely lovely children’s book that highlights the sense of belonging between parent and child。 The book features a variety of animals （polar bear， blue whale， tundra swan， gray wolf， etc。） and shows where the animals live。 Most importantly， it emphasizes that the parent and child always belong together—whether in the Arctic tundra， the mountains， the forest， or the depths of the ocean。 The illustrations are beautifully done and make the book worth buying—fortunatel You Are Home with Me is an absolutely lovely children’s book that highlights the sense of belonging between parent and child。 The book features a variety of animals （polar bear， blue whale， tundra swan， gray wolf， etc。） and shows where the animals live。 Most importantly， it emphasizes that the parent and child always belong together—whether in the Arctic tundra， the mountains， the forest， or the depths of the ocean。 The illustrations are beautifully done and make the book worth buying—fortunately， the words on each page are just as wonderful。 Children will love having this book read aloud to them， and parents will enjoy it， too！I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

What a lovely story！ I think littles and their parents will enjoy reading about all the different animals and their homes。 The art work is beautiful and I am sure it will look even more amazing in color。 I received a Kindle arc from Netgalley in exchange for a fair review。

I like the concept of this book but I don't think it was carried out very well。 The author jumped right into the animal piece without giving any context to the idea of the story and it felt disjointed。 I think this could be a cute book that children would enjoy with a little more finesse。 I like the concept of this book but I don't think it was carried out very well。 The author jumped right into the animal piece without giving any context to the idea of the story and it felt disjointed。 I think this could be a cute book that children would enjoy with a little more finesse。 。。。more

This is the perfect book for younger， pre-school aged children。 It uses their innate security of a mother to teach them about animals and how they live together。 The book is a fantastic teaching tool for different animals and their habits。 I would purchase it for the young children in my life。

Realistic illustrations bring this book to life。 A sweet tale of animal families and the places they live， each page also includes a fun fact about the animal shown。 But it is the pictures that really stands out for me here - they are just beautiful！ This would make a great bedtime （or anytime！） story！

One of the loveliest children’s books I’ve ever read， "You Are Home With Me" features beautiful illustrations that show the tender nurturing of baby animals by their parents， with captions like this: “If you were a polar bear， I would carve out a den in a snowbank to keep you warm and safe。” The entire book is a snuggly cocoon of caring and safety that would make a perfect bedtime story or anytime story。I plan on purchasing this treasure for the little tots in my family as soon as it is publishe One of the loveliest children’s books I’ve ever read， "You Are Home With Me" features beautiful illustrations that show the tender nurturing of baby animals by their parents， with captions like this: “If you were a polar bear， I would carve out a den in a snowbank to keep you warm and safe。” The entire book is a snuggly cocoon of caring and safety that would make a perfect bedtime story or anytime story。I plan on purchasing this treasure for the little tots in my family as soon as it is published （November 12， 2019） and I recommend it wholeheartedly for all children and their parents and caregivers。Thanks to NetGalley and Sasquatch Books for a digital advance review copy。 Opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own。 。。。more

Let me start off by saying I put stars beside this title with a little "must buy" note beside it because it's that wonderful。 This work blends fact and story seamlessly so that one never detracts from the other。 Asper-Smith has kept the facts about the animals in a smaller font so if you wanted to use this book for story time， you can and just focus on the tale itself。 Further， the illustrations are gorgeous and parents will love sharing this wonderful tale with their children。 "You Are Home wit Let me start off by saying I put stars beside this title with a little "must buy" note beside it because it's that wonderful。 This work blends fact and story seamlessly so that one never detracts from the other。 Asper-Smith has kept the facts about the animals in a smaller font so if you wanted to use this book for story time， you can and just focus on the tale itself。 Further， the illustrations are gorgeous and parents will love sharing this wonderful tale with their children。 "You Are Home with Me" is a touching book that brilliantly conveys the message of love， family and the strong ties that keep us together。 This is definitely a "must buy" for all libraries and a "must read" for families。 。。。more

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 This was a great book explaining where different animals live but was extremely difficult to read because of the way it presented on my Kindle。 Missed some of the very small print （unable to enlarge don't enough）。 I would recommend this for children ages 3-5。 I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 This was a great book explaining where different animals live but was extremely difficult to read because of the way it presented on my Kindle。 Missed some of the very small print （unable to enlarge don't enough）。 I would recommend this for children ages 3-5。 。。。more

This is a sweet children's book。 It shows the homes of various animals and gives facts about those animals， and of course ends with a human child and parent walking to their home。 I enjoyed that the human parent & child were shadowy outlines so any person reading it could fit themselves into the book。 I thought the selection of animals was nice - some familiar favorites （polar bears） but some deep cuts as well （tufted puffins）。 The artwork is fairly realistic and not too cutesy， which is one thi This is a sweet children's book。 It shows the homes of various animals and gives facts about those animals， and of course ends with a human child and parent walking to their home。 I enjoyed that the human parent & child were shadowy outlines so any person reading it could fit themselves into the book。 I thought the selection of animals was nice - some familiar favorites （polar bears） but some deep cuts as well （tufted puffins）。 The artwork is fairly realistic and not too cutesy， which is one thing I appreciate in an animal book。 Altogether I enjoyed this book。 。。。more

You Are Home with Me is a delightful picture book。 The illustrations are beautiful and evoke warm and tender feelings of love and comfort。 The story itself describes how various animals care for their young。 Alongside each illustration is an additional fact about the animals pictured。 This would be a lovely bedtime story for parents and children。 Thank you to Netgalley and Sasquatch Books for an advance reader copy。
