Influential artist Carson Ellis makes her solo picture-book debut with a whimsical tribute to the many possibilities of home.Home might be a house in the country, an apartment in the city, or even a shoe.

A meditation on the concept of home and a visual treat that invites many return visits, this loving look at the places where people live marks the picture-book debut of Carson Ellis, acclaimed illustrator of the Wildwood series and artist for the indie band the Decemberists.

Hvad er et hjem? Det kan være et hus på landet eller en lejlighed i byen. Det kan være et mytisk slot på havets bund eller en rumstation på månen. Eller, hvis man er ganske lille, måske en gammel sko på en mark. I Carson Ellis' billedbogsdebut HJEM kommer vi hele verden rundt og ser på hjem, indtil vi lander i hendes eget atelier ... og får øje på detaljer, der får os til at begynde forfra igen.Carson Ellis er også kendt fra billedbogen Ma æ dat? og har et særligt talent for at få liv frem i ellers afdæmpede palet af farver, og ikke mindst for at lave billedbøger, hvor beskueren (lille som stor) slet ikke kan lade være med at tænke med. Hvem bor fx i den underjordiske hule? Hvad er forskelle og ligheder på de mange hjem i Ellis' bog? Hvordan er dit eget hjem?
