Follows a young child and his imagination as he wonders about life in different places. He considers life in places of hardship, such as war, immigration journeys, child labor, and natural disasters. It ends by him reflecting that he is his own home, and that is a part of him wherever he may be.

Impactful and self-reflecting, a young girl wanders through life wondering what it would be like to live somewhere else. She ignites readers to consider the world around us through many lenses.
