Selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins. Illustrated by Stephen Alcorn. First edition, 2003. Orchard Books, an imprint of Scholastic.

"Whether one lives on a prairie where a child "...pedals through grasses,bone dry", a reservation where "Mother Earth is always beneath our feet", or a city where one wakes up to hear "sputters/of sweepers/swooshing litter/from gutters", home is an integral part of growing up, being, becoming.

"Home to Me features fifteen commissioned works by contemporary poets who reside in geographical areas as diverse as a Christmas tree farm in New England and a desert home in the Southwest."
