Homegrown DeAnn Wiley

A touching and stunningly illustrated ode to the homes-and loved ones-that raise us, perfect for fans of Christian Robinson, Oge Mora, and Ekua Holmes.

While her mother puts the finishing touches on her twists, a young girl asks what it means to be "homegrown". Touring precious memories and lively rooms warmed by family, Mama and Granny explain that home isn't just a place, but rather a reflection of people who support and love one another.

With lush, cozy illustrations, Homegrown is a beautiful author-illustrator debut picture book that reminds us to lift up the places-and people-we call home.
