Dad and Mom are excited to go back home to their Caribbean island to see everyone. The two young children say that it's not their home.  The family flies to the Island, and there are lots of people who look like them, but will the young children feel like this is their home too?

When We Go Home is a touching and warmhearted story that explores what it means to belong to two cultures.  I enjoyed the rich, vibrant art by Natali de Mello.
