A solid addition to the back-to-school shelves."--<i>Kirkus <p/> "</i>Younger siblings or those worried about distance weakening close bonds will find reassurance in this tender narrative."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> "<i>Henry at Home</i> is an excellent reminder that precious relationships can survive great change and that independence can strengthen, not threaten, a special bond."--<i>BookPage <p/> "</i>Cartoon-style illustrations, rendered in Procreate and finished in Photoshop, capture the children's warm relationship as the text gently demonstrates that Henry and Liza can develop their own interests while staying close and loving."--<i>Booklist</i> <p/> "This story validates children's fear of change and separation from a loved one but also offers assurance that these feelings pass, and that moments apart are not only productive for our self-growth, but they also make the time we do spend together all the more special."--<i>Horn Book</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><i>Henry at Home</i> is <b>Megan Maynor</b>'s fourth picture book.
