A Place To Call Home
Author: Alexis Deacon
Illustrator: Viviane Schwarz
Publisher: Walker
Seven furry brothers emerge from the warm womblike home they have outgrown and travel in search of a new place in the wider world. The trials and tribulations they face along the way are depicted in comic strip format. These small creatures believe they are traversing a mountain, a desert and a sea and that they have reached the edge of the world where they find at last their wondrous new home.
