Take a sneak peek inside homes from all around the world with this charming lift-the-flap book, written by Kate Baker and beautifully illustrated by Rebecca Green. From cozy wooden houses in snow-blanketed Greenland to traditional Maasai mud huts in East Africa, young children will discover different ways of living across the globe and get a unique glimpse into diverse cultures and communities. Suitable for children aged three and upwards, the colorful artwork is filled with fun details, helping to bring these miniature worlds to life. With flaps on every page allowing kids the chance to open doors, peep through windows and uncover what makes each distinct culture tick, this book encourages kids to be curious about our diverse world. Whether it's Mongolian yurts in the rolling plains of the Gobi Desert or raised jungle homes in the wilds of the desertcart Rainforest, A Place Called Home will take you on a journey all around the world to see how other people live.

Review: Beautiful way to teach diversity through our homes - This is such a beautiful book to teach diversity to young children in a tangle way; how we all make different homes in different places. I loved all the extra details behind the flaps and the illustrations are lovely. I think it might be too wordy for my 3-5 year olds as a large carpet group, but I can see it working for more attentive small groups of students or for use in the home or with a smaller number of children. Review: Very High Quality - This is one of those kids books I bought because I too also am interested in the subject and appreciate beautiful illustrations. This hit all the boxes and I am excited to read this with my daughter over and over again as she grows up. She’s 2 so the content is a little beyond her interest right now but she loves the flaps and pictures of all the people. Pro tip - if you’re getting this as a gift for a toddler, pre-peel the flaps. They are so high quality it took effort for me to open them live, which caused a vengeful two year old to scream impatiently to see what behind each flap. Save your eardrums and do it before presenting to the child.

Beautiful way to teach diversity through our homes
This is such a beautiful book to teach diversity to young children in a tangle way; how we all make different homes in different places. I loved all the extra details behind the flaps and the illustrations are lovely. I think it might be too wordy for my 3-5 year olds as a large carpet group, but I can see it working for more attentive small groups of students or for use in the home or with a smaller number of children.

Great Book!
My 5 year old nephew LOVES this book! He has so much fun and is really curious about all of the different ways people around the world live. It was really important to me that he says that just because people may not live like him, it doesn’t mean that it’s wrong.

Unique and fun book
This is an adorable little book that I bought for my 5-year-old who really enjoys it. The windows are a lot of fun, and I like that it incorporates a variety of different living situations. I wish that it was perhaps a little longer has it only provides five or six different types of communities but I think it has a nice sample.

Well
My 2.5 year old loves this book. There are so many things to discover on each page and she is so surprised seeing how other people live (great lesson for her). We also enjoy looking at the representation of some of our favourite places we visited Pre-kids!!! I wish they would release more of these, I would buy them without hesitation.
