Children's & Educational; Picture storybooks

A beautifully written and illustrated story of a mouse father and child on a day out, exploring connection and loss.

It’s good to know where things are going … and where other things have gone.

A father and child head out for the day – just what they feel like doing. They see beetles wandering past, snails sliding by, and bees and balloons flying above.

Where are they all going? Going home, perhaps, says Dad.

A beautiful and quietly meaningful tale of life, loss and love.

Reviews for Going Home

A beautiful art style that flows across pages, with purposeful pauses to allow for reader interpretation and moments to appreciate the illustrations. * fangtastical_fiction via instagram *
