A young Asian girl loves her home. Sometimes they leave, but they always come home. Then one day, they pack up all their belongings and fly on an airplane to somewhere new. The new apartment does not feel like home. Home is just a wish. Will she ever find her home again?

Home is a Wish is about moving and finding a new place to fit in, and how we carry home in our hearts. What is different becomes familiar. I enjoyed the sad, moody feelings that the beautiful illustrations created.
