520 |a "We're going home, and you're coming with us... Marlee's parents are from Jamaica, a place she's never been. Now they're planning a family trip. 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. They watch pigs on the beach and drink from coconuts and eat delicious foods. And everywhere Marlee goes, the people she sees are her color. Finally, she understands what it means to have two homes. 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. It celebrates and affirms those connections in loving detail."--  |c Provided by publisher.
