A Place
Called Home


In this charming tale told in verse, a kitten journeys through California's coastal redwoods in search of a place to call home. Along the way, the brave kitten discovers the homes of other animals. The story is accompanied by vivid and humorous illustrations that will capture the attention of both readers and listeners alike.

From croaking frogs to a ravenous bear, this engaging story takes the kitten on an exciting adventure to meet animals that reside in the redwood forest. Through the kitten's poetic journey, readers will gain an understanding of how animal homes are affected by their habitat.

The story is complemented by fascinating back matter, a glossary, and science resources that provide insight into the coastal redwoods and their residents. This makes it an excellent tool for teaching STEAM subjects.
