"A real portrait of the family emerges and doesn't shy away from difficult aspects. ...In their watercolor pictures, Williams and Raschka engage this specificity and intimacy further, with cozy, limber shaping that recalls Margot Zemach and big, beautiful hands for the dads, ready to protect and comfort their son."--The Horn Book
"This story by the legendary author, completed shortly before she died, is her usual combination of homey and humane...Raschka's sunny watercolor illustrations are bursting with undefined over busyness that sometimes makes details hard to discern, but the joy and warmth remain a constant even during Lester's struggle."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Williams' heartfelt text, published posthumously, supports Raschka's expressive illustrations to tell the story of a child adopted by two dads. ... Raschka's paintings add emotional depth to the setbacks, miscommunications, and moments of joy. ...A book to welcome into all kinds of homes."--Kirkus Reviews
"Full of tender everyday moments, Raschka's sunny, loosely stroked painting lull readers into Lester's new life. ...Wiliams's gift was capturing candid moments of pure love, and this, her final story before her death in 2015, offers a string of them."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A poignant, timely, and universal picture book about fear, adoption, family, and the joy of fatherhood, written by beloved and award-winning author Vera B. Williams and illustrated by the author in collaboration with two-time Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka.
After Lester is adopted by Daddy Albert and Daddy Rich, he develops a big problem—he can't fall asleep. Night after night he creeps into his parents' room and attempts to crawl in between his two daddies, confident that if he's with them and their dog, Wincka, nothing bad will happen to him ever again. But every night, Lester's new dads walk him back to his own room, hoping that eventually Lester will get used to the new house and his new family and feel as though he belongs. They buy him a bike and take him for ice cream. They make cocoa and introduce him to his cousins. But no matter how happy Lester seems during the day, he still gets scared and worried at night! It's the sweet dog Wincka who finally solves the problem when she climbs into Lester's bed and promptly falls asleep, serving as both his pillow and his protector. Lester feels home at last.
Vera B. Williams died on October 16, 2015, while still working on this book with her dear friend and fellow artist Chris Raschka. Chris Raschka's astonishing and glorious full-color paintings are based on sketches by Vera B. Williams and honor both her spirit and her intent. Home at Last is a universal, timely, and timeless book about the right of all children to belong someplace safe.
