    Just what IS it that makes home such a special place to be?

    Home's an extra special space
    you hold within your heart
    to keep you very close to me
    when we must be apart.

    A charming celebration of what home means to all of us, featuring a wise cat and an adorable little kitten who discover that there really is no place like home.
    With this small volume, Dodd adds another sweet, simple, and short title to her list of picture books in which adorable animals stand in for humans and impart reassuring sentiments. Her smudgy-lined art features a huggable duo of smiling kitties just being cats in a clean, pink house that’s clearly inhabited by humans, though none ever appear. . . . Toddlers, whether cat lovers or no, will identify with the small, white kitten.
    —Kirkus Reviews

    Word and picture combine to convey a sense of security in this 13th volume of Ms. Dodd’s ‘Love You’ series of short, sweet picture books for children ages 2-5.
    —The Wall Street Journal
    Emma Dodd has created many books to critical acclaim. She works from a studio in England. When not working, she and her family spend as much time as they can surfing and walking in all weather.
