It’s Thanksgiving here in the U.S., and with that comes the onset of the holiday season. Maybe you’re driving to your parents’ right now for a Thanksgiving feast… maybe you will only be heading home in a few weeks for Christmas, Hannukah or the New Year. Perhaps you will travel by air or by sea, by road or by rail, or perhaps only by way of your dreams. No matter what the mode, know that the journey home is a universal experience. It remains a powerful and persistent motif in all of literature, with children’s literature being no exception.
Here are some great audiobooks about journeys home for your child. Epic quests to relocate family left behind on other shores, or epiphanic circumnavigations, leading to the realization that your true family was the one by your side all along.
Access: The links above are through Audible at Amazon.com. Depending upon where you live in the world, you can likely also access these for free through your public library and other resources that I am blogging about, like Hoopla.
