Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Finding Home
Mike Unwin · 2025
83/100
👍 Worth It
Finding Home is the kind of nonfiction picture book that earns its place on classroom shelves and home bookshelves alike — lush Jenni Desmond watercolors paired with accurate, engaging natural history writing by an award-winning wildlife writer. Booklist, Kirkus, and School Library Journal all responded positively, and the twenty-animal format means there is something new on every spread. An easy, confident recommendation for young nature lovers.
