About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with a sudden loss of stability or displacement, especially if they use sports as their primary emotional outlet. Home Safe Home follows middle schooler Jayson after a devastating tornado destroys his house, forcing his family into a crowded shelter. While Jayson struggles with the loss of his possessions and his privacy, he finds a sense of normalcy and purpose through his baseball team. This story effectively validates the feelings of anxiety and frustration that accompany a natural disaster while offering a roadmap for resilience. It is a gentle yet realistic choice for children ages 8 to 12 who need to see that 'home' is built through community and perseverance rather than just four walls.
