PreS-Gr 1—Victor, a well-traveled cat living aboard a cargo ship has seen the world. Though "his paws had never touched land," he has been to an impressive list of destinations such as Zanzibar, Greece, Norway, and Iceland. As the ship docks briefly in each locale to load or unload goods, Victor enjoys taking in the sights of a new city from afar. However, he longs to visit the one place the ship had not traveled: Home. Crew members speak fondly of going Home and missing it. Victor wants to see and experience Home for himself. One day, the ship pulls into port accompanied by cheers from the crew. Victor can hardly contain his excitement as he follows a crew member through the streets. To his confusion, it looks like every other place he has visited. As he roams the city streets and sees people and families spending time together, his understanding of Home changes. Using rich shades of primary colors, images of the ship, seaside and various city landscapes awaken this delightful story of discovery. VERDICT A sweet and tender exploration of the meaning of home. A fine read-aloud to share one-on-one and with a small group. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
This is a very sweet book that my toddler loves reading again and again (I one that I love as well)! We both especially love the page that has postcards from all over the world. She loves to point to the ones she wants to know about and we talk about the different countries and cities Vincent has been to. Such a great story. |
About the Author / 作者介绍: |
Jessixa Bagley, author and illustrator of Laundry Day, Before I Leave, and Boats For Papa (winner of the 2016 SCBWI Golden Kite Award for best picture book text) and Aaron Bagley (illustrator of Rocking Fatherhood) have been drawing and writing together since they met in art school more than a decade ago. What started off as a courtship of doodling in sketchbooks and belching in lockers soon turned into a marriage of doodling in sketchbooks and belching with their son.
Their artistic partnership is a balanced collaboration of overlapping their individual styles and painting techniques―creating one cohesive language. Vincent Comes Home is their first picture book together. And much like Vincent, they have moved around a lot but their home has always been each other. |
