On a glorious summer day, a dog named Homer assumes his favorite position on the porch overlooking the beach. He is invited to play, to run, to do errands, to swim, and to explore, but Homer is happy right where he is. After all, everyone in the family (both two-legged and four-legged) needs to pass by him to get to where they are going. Elisha Cooper’s exquisite watercolor paintings and pitch-perfect text capture a dog’s love for his people, as well as the busy dynamic of family on a summer day. It’s true—home is where the dog is. By the award-winning creator of Dance!, Magic Thinks Big, and Farm, among other books for young children.
