In A Home on the Page, Nou’s family finds home in songs, gardens, story clothes, and community gatherings. When their house is the target of discrimination, Nou must create for herself a place of belonging. Can she find it in the unwritten pages of a book?

This extraordinary story from author Kao Kalia Yang and illustrator Seo Kim tenderly explores how a young girl navigates racism and ultimately turns to writing, creating a home for herself on the page—and in the world. Use the AmazeWorks lesson to guide brave conversations with children about the book.
