Home Is in Between
Illustrator
Home Is in Between is one of the best picture books about living between cultures, languages, and expectations without being forced to choose only one identity. Mitali Perkins follows Shanti as she moves between memories of India and daily life in the United States, slowly recognizing that the space between those worlds is also home. For readers seeking Asian American picture books, immigrant-family stories, and diverse picture books about belonging, this title offers clarity, grace, and classroom usefulness. Especially useful for talking about migration, memory, language, and belonging. Best for ages 4 to 8, with enough depth for conversation after the last page. Rogers's Chooch Helped for another angle. See more BIPOC picture books for ages 4 to 8, or compare it with Andrea L. Rogers's Chooch Helped for another angle.
