HOME IS IN BETWEEN, by Mitali Perkins; illustrated by Lavanya Naidu. What are you reading? I took a class from @vanessabrantleynewton and she recommended this book. I found this book touching and relatable. I used to be an ExPat (I lived overseas for a few years). I am also married to an ExPat/first-generation American. Homesickness is a very real thing. And feeling like you’re living in between two places is also very true. Though I’ve never been to Shanti’s homeland I felt much the same way when I lived abroad.
This is part of my reading-for-research series. Look at the #libraryloot I’ve been hauling to the studio!
I support #FReadom (pushing back against book banning).
