"Walker's loving, reassuring, childlike voice invitingly narrates over a soft rhythmic musical soundtrack. Her warm, clear pronunciation and careful, thoughtful pacing enable an easy-to-follow read-along with the printed book..." —School Library Journal

This audiobook features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun that is Homegrown.

A touching ode to the homes—and loved ones—that raise us, perfect for fans of Christian Robinson, Oge Mora, and Ekua Holmes.

While her mother puts the finishing touches on her twists, a young girl asks what it means to be "homegrown." Touring precious memories and lively rooms warmed by family, Mama and Granny explain that home isn't just a place, but rather a reflection of people who support and love one another.
Homegrown is a beautiful debut audiobook that reminds us to lift up the places—and people—we call home.
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

      PreS-Gr 2-Self-taught artist Wiley makes her author/illustrator debut with a celebration of multiple generations of family bonds. Walker's loving, reassuring, childlike voice invitingly narrates over a soft rhythmic musical soundtrack. Her warm, clear pronunciation and careful, thoughtful pacing enable an easy-to-follow read-along with the printed book, because audiences will not want to miss Wiley's vibrant, vivacious drawings of a young Black girl discovering all the inclusive meanings of being homegrown from her mother and grandmother. Together, their extended family demonstrates the ways homegrown encompasses "homemaking," "homemade," "homeland," "homework," "home-cooked." Affirmations are many: "It's the moments, family, traditions and love that make us who we are." VERDICT Wiley and Walker's complementary pairing creates one of the too-rare full productions that markedly augments the printed book.
