The Secret Home is a true story, presented as a fable. It tells of the author’s father when he was a boy, and there was a war. Living in an underground dwelling for three years, he and his parents survive with the help of kind and courageous strangers. Illustrated with rich and evocative artwork, this book resonates deeply with readers of all ages, and is a moving example of the risks we can take and the generosity we can offer at times of upheaval and change.
Created by first-time author and illustrator Andy Mia Kranz, this vivid story, told to her over and over when she was a child by her grandfather, planted the seed of this book.
