People have always wanted to feel safe, secure, and sheltered. Homes have always met people’s basic needs but our changing lifestyles have influenced the kinds of homes we have. No matter what type of home it is, where it is, or when people lived in it, it can tell us something about the people who lived in it. CAROL LAWRENCE has worked in children's writing and publishing for more than twenty years.
POPPY KANG is a freelance illustrator and visual development artist based in Los Angeles.
