Pictures of Home

A re-issue of this classic picture book. This book combines a selection of pictures taken from calendars that Colin produced for Leeds Permanent Building Society with haiku verses and comments from a group of ten and eleven year old children about what home means to them. Their writing is both funny and sad but above all very touching.
Colin Thompson’s stunning illustrations of ‘home’ have been linked to verse and comment which they have inspired from children who have seen them. The result of this meeting between the vision of an artist and the honesty of children is an unusually imaginative book, touching, funny, provocative – and always surprising. Home will never seem quite the same again!
