Our Home

"At its heart, Our Home seeks to eliminate gendered notions around the work done at home and reframes chores as valued acts of love that involve us all (parents and children). The book emphasizes the often unseen labor of parents and follows diverse families as they engage in everyday tasks. It teaches precious life lessons to kids in a way that I haven’t seen before. And the illustrations are spot-on! Our Home is poised to become a family favorite, showing that caring for the home can bring joy and unity to the whole family."

"A tip of the hat to all of the invisible labor that happens […] making little ones aware of what their parents do and reminding parents to watch for those bucket-filling moments of delight with their children." 

"An original and fun read from start to finish, with its emphasis on family values and self-esteem, Our Home: The Love, Work, and Heart of Family is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library Life Lessons/Life Skills picture book collections."

"A charming, nicely illustrated children’s book depicting diverse and relatable families whose members work together to make their homes functional, loving, and fun."

"For parents who are raising the next generation of leaders and team members, Our Home is an essential children’s story which shows how teamwork, collaboration, and a more equitable distribution of work can lead to loving and healthy outcomes."

'My 6-year-old son requests we read Our Home on repeat! He calls it the "hugs" book, showing me he's made the connection between the work of a family, and the care it represents.'

"Instead of complaints about the tedium of chores and housework, this fabulous little book provides a joyful read that sheds a light on the contributions we can make for each other to the home environment."

"Visually stunning and a pleasure to read, this book is an essential contribution to an overdue cultural shift where invisible labor is made visible and domestic work is given the respect it deserves."

"A foundational spark for the wellness of families and a future of partnerships founded in understanding equity and the value of care."
