Her parents call it home, but they already have a home with Marlee and her brother, Nile. How can one person have two home countries? And what if Marlee doesn't like it there? When they arrive in Jamaica, Marlee is swept up into a big, welcoming family full of cousins and grandparents. Grandma braids her hair, and Gran'daddy tucks her into bed.

This touching picture book explores what it means to come from two cultures. Through Heather Beaumont's expressive text, with its "when we go home" refrain, and Nátali de Mello's richly vibrant art, When We Go Home is a book for so many kids in North America who have family heritage somewhere else.
