A Home for Leo

In this quirky and amusing story, young Leo lives in the sea with a family of sea lions that he adores. He’s happy, but he has always known he was different. When Leo is suddenly reunited with his human parents, he finds he loves them too. But he still feels like a fish out of water. Being from two worlds and having two families isn’t so easy. Leo has a lot to figure out.

My Review of A Home for Leo

Children’s books are often some of my favorite types of books. A Home for Leo definitely fits the bill. It teaches a lesson in a sweet and gentle way. Just like Leo, many times we don’t know where we fit in. We feel like a fish (or sea lion) out of water. Out of our element. Well, Leo finds that he can fit in two places.

The illustrations in A Home for Leo really tell the story much more than the text. This makes it a perfect book to share with multiple ages of children. I really think your child will enjoy A Home for Leo.
