Why read it?
1 author picked The Way Back Home as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Oliver Jeffers has such a simple way with words (almost as if he is writing as his child self, still) but which always brings a wry, knowing adult smile to my mouth when reading aloud. I love this book too, for being able to make my children smile and feel empathy for the characters.

From Diana's list on for children who love space and science fiction.
