A stunning celebration of tolerance, togetherness and the power of community from the award-winning Jessica Meserve. Little Red is delighted when he discovers a beautiful tree, all to himself!

This is the wind that whipped and whirled. This is the lightning that zipped and zapped. This is the thunder that bombarded and blasted. And these are the animals... all soggy and sad. When a terrible storm tears through the forest, everything seems lost. Trees are toppled. Nests, nooks and burrows are destroyed. The animals are left with nothing but ruins. But then, a new home begins to grow - not an ordinary home, but one built from the efforts of every single animal in the forest. A home made not just of twigs and leaves, but of kindness, courage, and love. Told in a rhythmic, cumulative style and paired with breathtaking illustrations, The Home That Love Built is a powerful celebration of friendship, teamwork and rebuilding after loss. Children and adults alike will be drawn to its rich, poetic language and its empowering message of resilience. Perfect for fans of Our Tree, also by Jessica Meserve, Our Tower by Joseph Coelho, and The Invisible String by Patrice Karst, this touching tale is ideal for classrooms exploring big emotions like fear of change, sadness and grief. It's also a gentle, comforting story for bedtime snuggles - reminding children that even in their hardest moments, they are part of a community and held by those who love them.
